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 \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), we can substitute \( C = 30 \) into the formula:

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

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

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

Now add 32:

\[ F = 54 + 32 = 86 \]

So, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( 86°F \).
