Question

A thermometer reads an outside air temperature of 14°C what is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? round your answer to the nearest 10th.

Answer 1

so I got 57.2°F which would be 60°F

Answer 2

Answer: The thermometer reading in degree Fahrenheit rounded off to nearest 10th digit is
`57.2^oF`

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Thermometer reading =
`14^oC`

To convert the degree Celsius into degree Fahrenheit, we use the conversion factor:

`T(^oC)=(T(^oF)-32)* (5)/(9)`

where,

`^oF` = temperature in Fahrenheit

`^oC` = temperature in centigrade =
`14^oC`

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`14^oC=(T(^oF)-32)* (5)/(9)\\\\T(^oF)=57.2^oF`

Hence, the thermometer reading in degree Fahrenheit rounded off to nearest 10th digit is
`57.2^oF`
