Question

Which of the following comparisons is false? 5° c is warmer than 5°f. 15° c is cooler than 60° f. 30° c is warmer than 90° f. 35° c is cooler than 100° f.

Answer 1

30° Celsius is not warmer than 90° Fahrenheit. You can find this by doing the conversion of 30° Celsius to Fahrenheit. This is 86° Fahrenheit. Obviously, 86 is not more than 90, so it is false, meaning it is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Explanation:

To compare celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures, we have to convert one unit to another.

The conversion formula is

`F=(9C)/(5) +32`

Using this let us compare one by one.

`F=(9*5)/(5) +32=41`

Hence C is not warmer than F

ii)
`F=(9*15)/(5) +32=59`

Hence C is coller than F.

ii)
`F=(9*30)/(5) +32=86`

N0t warmer than 100 degrees

iv)
`F=(9*35)/(5) +32=99`

Hence not warmer than 100 F

So only correct option is option C
