Ed spoke to his cousin in Australia, who told him it was 30°C

Question

that day. Ed wasn’t sure if that was hot or cold, so he converted the temperature to degrees Fahrenheit.

Use the formula F=95C+32
where F is degrees Fahrenheit and C is degrees Celsius. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

NOTE: Enter the number of degrees Fahrenheit in the box in order for this problem to be scored correctly.

Answer 1

To convert the temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using the given formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), we can substitute \( C = 30 \).

1. Substitute \( C \) into the formula: \[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 30 + 32 \]

2. Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 30 \): \[ \frac{9 \times 30}{5} = \frac{270}{5} = 54 \]

3. Now, add 32 to the result: \[ F = 54 + 32 = 86 \]

Thus, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( \boxed{86} \).
