9/5xc+32

use the expression to find the Fahrenheit temperature equivalent to 15 degrees Celsius

1 answer

To find the Fahrenheit temperature equivalent to 15 degrees Celsius using the expression \(\frac{9}{5}c + 32\), we can substitute \(c = 15\) into the expression.

  1. Substitute \(c\) with \(15\): \[ F = \frac{9}{5}(15) + 32 \]

  2. Calculate \(\frac{9}{5} \times 15\): \[ \frac{9 \times 15}{5} = \frac{135}{5} = 27 \]

  3. Add \(32\) to \(27\): \[ F = 27 + 32 = 59 \]

Thus, the Fahrenheit temperature equivalent to 15 degrees Celsius is \(59\) degrees Fahrenheit.
