While Raj was in Italy, he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be 14°C

Question

. Raj wasn't sure if that was hot or cold, so he converted the temperature to degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

Use F=95C+32
, where F represents degrees in Fahrenheit and C represents degrees in Celsius.

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

To convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), we need to substitute \( C = 14 \) degrees.

\[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 14 + 32 \] Calculating \( \frac{9}{5} \times 14 \): \[ \frac{9 \times 14}{5} = \frac{126}{5} = 25.2 \]

Now, add 32 to this result: \[ F = 25.2 + 32 = 57.2 \]

Rounding 57.2 to the nearest whole number gives: \[ F \approx 57 \]

Thus, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is 57°F.
