Question

While James was in Peru, he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be 30°C . He wasn't sure if that was hot or cold, so he converted the temperature to degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? Use F=95C+32 , where F represents degrees in Fahrenheit and C represents degrees in Celsius. NOTE: Type the numerical whole number answer in the box to receive credit for this question. (1 point) °F

Answer 1

To convert 30°C to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), you can substitute 30 for \( C \):

\[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 30 + 32 \]

Now, calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 30 \):

\[ \frac{9 \times 30}{5} = \frac{270}{5} = 54 \]

Now, add 32 to this result:

\[ F = 54 + 32 = 86 \]

Thus, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( \boxed{86} \).
