Question

Degrees Celsius can be converted to degrees Fahrenheit by multiplying 1 and 4/5 and adding 32 degrees C what is 15 degrees C in Fahrenheit

Answer 1

Answer:

15C is 59F

Step-by-step explanation:

As an equation, F = (1 4/5)C + 32. 1 and 4/5 is the same as 9/5.

Substitute 15 for C.

F = (9/5)C + 32

F = (9/5)(15) + 32   Multiply 15 by the top number in 9/5

F = 135/5 + 32       Convert 32 to a fraction over 5

F = 135/5 + 160/5     Add the numerators under the same denominator

F = 295/5        Divide

F = 59              Degrees in Farenheit

Therefore 15°C is 59°F.
