Question

A thermometer at the park shows a reading of 86° Fahrenheit. If the temperature goes over 32° Celsius, Tom must have an extra break. He uses this formula to calculate the temperature in °C. C = 5(F - 32) 9 Will Tom get an extra break?

Answer 1

Answer:

No, Tom will not get an extra break.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature in the °C is calculated as

C=(5(F-32))/9

=(5(86-32))/9

=30°C

Since the temperature does not rise above 32°C, therefore tom will not get an extra break.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, Tom will not get an extra break

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting 86° Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula:

$C=(F-32)*\frac{5}{9}$

We have:

$C=(F-32)*\frac{5}{9}\\C=(82-32)*\frac{5}{9}\\C=50*\frac{5}{9}=27.77$

Since this temperature is less than 32° Celsius, Tom will not get an extra break
