Answer:

102.2 degrees Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use this formula in order to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:

(C x 9/5) +32

39 x 9 = 351

351 / 5 = 70.2

70.2 + 32 = 102.2

Answer:102.2 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation: When you want to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit a simple formula to use is

F=(C * 1.8) + 32

F=(39*1.8)+32

F=102.2

C stand for Celsius

When you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius you start with a temperature in Fahrenheit i.e 102.2 and then subtract 32 from the value of Fahrenheit i.e (102.2 - 32 = 70.2

Then divide this answer by 1.8 i.e 70.2 / 1.8 = 39 , hence you can see that we do vice versa instead of multiplying with 1.8 we divide by it , if we convert back from Celsius to Fahrenheit and we also subtract 32 instead of adding
