High School

Jason's Fahrenheit thermometer was broken. He wanted to know whether he should put on shorts or a winter coat. He had a Celsius thermometer, and it read 30 degrees Celsius.

What was the temperature in Fahrenheit?
(Use [tex]\text{Fahrenheit} = \frac{9}{5}C + 32[/tex])

A. 86 degrees Fahrenheit
B. 68 degrees Fahrenheit
C. 30 degrees Fahrenheit
D. 54 degrees Fahrenheit
E. 96 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer :

When converting 30 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula '9/5 imes Celsius + 32', the result is 86 degrees Fahrenheit. This suggests that the weather is warm, and shorts might be appropriate.

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula Fahrenheit = 9/5 times Celsius + 32. Jason's thermometer read 30 degrees Celsius. So, applying this formula:

Fahrenheit = (9/5 times 30) + 32
Fahrenheit = 54 + 32
Fahrenheit = 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

Therefore, the temperature in Fahrenheit is 86 degrees. Jason should consider wearing shorts as this indicates warm weather.
•F=9/5 C +32
•F=9/5(30)+32
•F=86
