Question

A thermometer reads an outside air temperature of 14°C what is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? round your answer to the nearest 10th.

Answer 1

so I got 57.2°F which would be 60°F

Answer 2

Answer: The thermometer reading in degree Fahrenheit rounded off to nearest 10th digit is $57.2^oF$

Explanation:

We are given:

Thermometer reading = $14^oC$

To convert the degree Celsius into degree Fahrenheit, we use the conversion factor:

$T(^oC)=(T(^oF)-32)\times \frac{5}{9}$

where,

$^oF$ = temperature in Fahrenheit  

$^oC$ = temperature in centigrade = $14^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$14^oC=(T(^oF)-32)\times \frac{5}{9}\\\\T(^oF)=57.2^oF$

Hence, the thermometer reading in degree Fahrenheit rounded off to nearest 10th digit is $57.2^oF$
