Question

We can measure temperature in two different common units: degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. The variable F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit that is equivalent to C, the temperature in degrees Celsius. F=32+1.8C What is the temperature increase in degrees Fahrenheit that is equivalent to a temperature increase of 10 degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

18 degrees fahrenheit

I just did the khan academy.

Answer 2

18 degree

Explanation:

Assuming our initial temperature in Fahrenheit is 32 (Celsius would be 0)

If we increase by 10 degrees celsius :

F= 32 + 1.8(10)

F= 32 + 18

The final temperature would be 50 degrees F (Celsius 10), but there would have been an increase of 18 degrees F for the 10 degree change in C
