Question

Did you know that the outdoor temperature can be found by counting the chirps made by crickets? According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the formula c=n3+4 relates to degrees Celsius (c) to the number of cricket chirps (n) in 25 seconds. One night while camping, Charlie counts 51 cricket chirps in 25 seconds. Note: Enter the number of degrees in the blank in order for this question to be scored correctly. (1 point) The temperature in degrees Celsius is °C .

Answer 1

To find the temperature in degrees Celsius (c) based on the number of cricket chirps (n), we can use the given formula:

$$c=n^3+4$$

In this case, Charlie counts 51 cricket chirps (n = 51).

Now, we can substitute 51 into the formula:

$$c={51}^3+4$$

First, calculate ${51}^3$:

$${51}^3=51\times 51\times 51=132651$$

Now, we add 4:

$$c=132651+4=132655$$

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Celsius is:

132655 °C.
