While Joey was in Spain, he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be 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 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
1 answer
To convert 20°C to Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \):
Substitute \( C \) with 20: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}(20) + 32 \]
Calculate \( \frac{9}{5}(20) \): \[ \frac{9}{5}(20) = 36 \]
Add 32: \[ F = 36 + 32 = 68 \]
Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( 68°F \).
