While Raj was in Italy, he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be 14°C

. Raj 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 over 5C+32
, where F represents degrees in Fahrenheit and C represents degrees in Celsius.

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

To convert 14°C to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), we can substitute \( C \) with 14:

\[ F = \frac{9}{5}(14) + 32 \]

First, calculate \(\frac{9}{5} \times 14\):

\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 14 = 25.2 \]

Now, add 32:

\[ F = 25.2 + 32 = 57.2 \]

Rounding 57.2 to the nearest whole number gives us \( 57 \).

So, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is:

\[ \boxed{57} \]
