Question

Susie needs to melt some chocolate to use in a recipe she found in a cookbook. The cookbook calls for melting the chocolate at a low temperature of 30 Celsius. What temperature in degrees Fahrenheit will she need to set her stove to melt the chocolate? Round your answer to the nearest whole degree.

Answer 1

Use F = (9/5)C + 32. For C = 30:

F = (9/5)*30 + 32 = 54 + 32 = 86°F.

So set the stove to about 86°F.
