Did you know that the outdoor temperature can be found by counting the chirps made by crickets?

Question

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the formula c=n/3+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.

Answer 1

To find the temperature in degrees Celsius using the formula \( c = \frac{n}{3} + 4 \), we can substitute \( n = 51 \) (the number of chirps counted by Charlie) into the formula.

\[ c = \frac{51}{3} + 4 \]

Calculating \( \frac{51}{3} \):

\[ \frac{51}{3} = 17 \]

Now, add 4:

\[ c = 17 + 4 = 21 \]

So, the temperature in degrees Celsius is \( 21 , °C \).
