While James was in Peru, he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be 30°C

Question

. 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.

Answer 1

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

1. Substitute \( C = 30 \) into the formula:

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

2. Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 30 \):

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

3. Now add 32 to the result:

   \[ F = 54 + 32 = 86 \]

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