Answer :
Final answer:
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula F = (C x 1.8) + 32. The correct answer is c. -101.5°F.
Explanation:
Temperature is a physical quantity that quantitatively expresses the attribute of hotness or coldness. Temperature is measured with a thermometer. It reflects the average kinetic energy of the vibrating and colliding atoms making up a substance.
Thermometers are calibrated in various temperature scales that historically have relied on various reference points and thermometric substances for definition.
The most common scales are the Celsius scale with the unit symbol °C (formerly called centigrade), the Fahrenheit scale (°F), and the Kelvin scale (K), the latter being used predominantly for scientific purposes. The kelvin is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI).
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula F = (C x 1.8) + 32. Plugging in the given temperature of 38.6°C, we get F = (38.6 x 1.8) + 32 = 101.48 + 32 ≈ 133.48°F. Therefore, the correct answer is c. -101.5°F.
