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 = }C + 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), you can use the formula:

\[ F = (C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32 \]

In this case, \( C = 20 \).

Now, plug in the value:

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

Calculating the multiplication first:

\[ 20 \times \frac{9}{5} = 20 \times 1.8 = 36 \]

Now, add 32 to the result:

\[ F = 36 + 32 = 68 \]

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