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%C2%A0 c=n3+4 %C2%A0relates to degrees Celsius%C2%A0 (c) %C2%A0to the number of cricket chirps%C2%A0 (n) %C2%A0in 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 answer

To find the temperature in degrees Celsius using the formula \( c = n/3 + 4 \), where \( n \) is the number of cricket chirps in 25 seconds:

  1. Substitute the chirp count \( n = 51 \) into the formula: \[ c = \frac{51}{3} + 4 \]

  2. Calculate \( \frac{51}{3} \): \[ \frac{51}{3} = 17 \]

  3. Add 4 to the result: \[ c = 17 + 4 = 21 \]

Thus, the temperature is \( 21 \) degrees Celsius.

So the final answer is: The temperature in degrees Celsius is 21°C.
