Question

The formula for converting centigrade temperature to Fahrenheit is°F= % °C + 32. What is the difference in Fahrenheit degrees betweena temperature of 0°C and a temperature of 15°C?

Answer 1

So,

Here we have the formula for converting °C to °F:

$F=\frac{9}{5}C+32$

We want to find the difference in Fahrenheit degrees between a temperature of 0°C and a temperature of 15°C. First, notice that the difference between 0°C and 15°C is 15°C. So, we're going to convert 15°C to °F using the equation above.

$\begin{gathered} F=\frac{9}{5}(15)+32 \\ F=27+32 \\ F=59 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 15°C is equal to 59°F which is the difference between both temperatures.
