Answer 1

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

1. Substitute \( C \) with 20: \[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 20 + 32 \]

2. Calculate \( \frac{9}{5} \times 20 \): \[ \frac{9 \times 20}{5} = \frac{180}{5} = 36 \]

3. Add 32: \[ F = 36 + 32 = 68 \]

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is 68°F.
