Question

4. The relationship between temperature expressed in degress Fahrenheit(F) and degrees Celsius © is given by the formula F = 9/5C + 32. Winson reads a temperature of 34 degrees on a Celsius thermometer. To the nearest degree, what is the equivalent temperature on a Fahrenheit thermometer? Explain:

Answer 1

We have a formula that relate temperature in degrees Farenheit and degrees Celsius.

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

Then, we can convert this temperatures in both ways.

If we have a measurement of 34 degrees Celsius, we can replace C with 34 in the formula and have the measurement expressed in degrees Farenheit:

$F(34)=\frac{9}{5}(34)+32=\frac{306}{5}+32=61.2+32=93.2\approx93$

The equivalent temperature in degrees Farenheit, to the nearest degrees, is 93 F.
