Question

A thermometer at the park shows a reading of 86° Fahrenheit. If the temperature goes over 32° Celsius, Tom must have an extra break. He uses this formula to calculate the temperature in °C. C = 5(F - 32) 9 Will Tom get an extra break?

Answer 1

No, Tom will not get an extra break

Explanation:

Converting 86° Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula:

`C=(F-32)*(5)/(9)`

We have:

`C=(F-32)*(5)/(9)\\C=(82-32)*(5)/(9)\\C=50*(5)/(9)=27.77`

Since this temperature is less than 32° Celsius, Tom will not get an extra break

Answer 2

No, Tom will not get an extra break.

Explanation:

The temperature in the °C is calculated as

C=(5(F-32))/9

=(5(86-32))/9

=30°C

Since the temperature does not rise above 32°C, therefore tom will not get an extra break.
