Question

25 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 = 9/5 C + 32, where F represents degrees in Fahrenheit and C represents degrees in Celsius.

Responses

68 F

86 F

25 F

77 F

Answer 1

To convert 25 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), we can substitute \( C \) with 25:

\[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 25 + 32 \]

First, calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 25 \):

\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 25 = 9 \times 5 = 45 \]

Now, add 32:

\[ F = 45 + 32 = 77 \]

So, 25 degrees Celsius is equal to 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

The correct response is 77 F.
