While Joey was in Spain, he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be%C2%A0 20°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%C2%A0 F=95C+32 , where F represents degrees in Fahrenheit and C represents degrees in Celsius.%C2%A0 %C2%A0 NOTE: Type the numerical whole number answer in the box to receive credit for this question.

To convert 20°C to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \):

  1. Substitute \( C = 20 \) into the formula:

    \[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 20 + 32 \]

  2. Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 20 \):

    \[ \frac{9 \times 20}{5} = \frac{180}{5} = 36 \]

  3. Now add 32 to the result:

    \[ F = 36 + 32 = 68 \]

Thus, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( \boxed{68} \).
