The formula F = 9/5c + 32

changes a temperature reading from the Celsius scale C to the Fahrenheit scale F. What is the temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit when the Celsius temperature is ​5c?

1 answer

To find the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit when the Celsius temperature is 5°C, we can substitute 5 for C in the formula:

F = (9/5)(5) + 32

This simplifies to:

F = 45/5 + 32
F = 9 + 32
F = 41

Therefore, when the Celsius temperature is 5°C, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is 41°F.
