Answer :
To convert the average cat's temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we start with the Celsius-to-Fahrenheit conversion formula:
[tex]$$
F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32
$$[/tex]
where [tex]$C$[/tex] represents the temperature in Celsius and [tex]$F$[/tex] represents the temperature in Fahrenheit.
1. Since the average cat's temperature is [tex]$38.6^\circ$[/tex] Celsius, we substitute [tex]$C = 38.6$[/tex] into the formula.
2. First, we calculate the term [tex]$\frac{9}{5}C$[/tex]:
[tex]$$
\frac{9}{5} \times 38.6 = 69.48
$$[/tex]
3. Next, we add [tex]$32$[/tex] to this result to convert to Fahrenheit:
[tex]$$
69.48 + 32 = 101.48
$$[/tex]
Thus, the average cat's temperature in Fahrenheit is [tex]$101.48^\circ$[/tex].
The correct answer is therefore:
C) [tex]$101.48^\circ$[/tex] Fahrenheit.
[tex]$$
F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32
$$[/tex]
where [tex]$C$[/tex] represents the temperature in Celsius and [tex]$F$[/tex] represents the temperature in Fahrenheit.
1. Since the average cat's temperature is [tex]$38.6^\circ$[/tex] Celsius, we substitute [tex]$C = 38.6$[/tex] into the formula.
2. First, we calculate the term [tex]$\frac{9}{5}C$[/tex]:
[tex]$$
\frac{9}{5} \times 38.6 = 69.48
$$[/tex]
3. Next, we add [tex]$32$[/tex] to this result to convert to Fahrenheit:
[tex]$$
69.48 + 32 = 101.48
$$[/tex]
Thus, the average cat's temperature in Fahrenheit is [tex]$101.48^\circ$[/tex].
The correct answer is therefore:
C) [tex]$101.48^\circ$[/tex] Fahrenheit.
