Question

While Joey was in Spain, he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be 20°C
. He 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.

Answer 1

To convert the temperature from degrees Celsius (C) to degrees Fahrenheit (F) using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \):

Given that \( C = 20 \):

\[
F = \frac{9}{5} \times 20 + 32
\]

Calculating \( \frac{9}{5} \times 20 \):

\[
\frac{9}{5} \times 20 = 36
\]

Now, add 32 to that result:

\[
F = 36 + 32 = 68
\]

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( \boxed{68} \).
