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 20°C to Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \):

1. Plug in the value of \( C \):
\[
F = \frac{9}{5} \times 20 + 32
\]

2. Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 20 \):
\[
\frac{9}{5} \times 20 = 36
\]

3. Add 32 to the result:
\[
F = 36 + 32 = 68
\]

Thus, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is **68°F**.
