Question

A 1.00-degree increase on the Celsius scale is equivalent to a 1.80-degree increase on the Fahrenheit scale. The temperature of a fluid increases by 48.0°C. What is this increase in degrees Fahrenheit? 49.8°F 48.0°F 26.7°F 86.4°F

Answer 1

1.00 degree increase on the Celsius scale is equivalent to a 1.80 degree increase on theFahrenheit scale. If a temperature increases by 48.0°C,

Answer 2

Answer: last optiion, 86.4°F

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use the symbol Δ for increase

Given: Δ1.00 °C = Δ1.80°F, and Δ48.0°C, find Δ°F = x.

2) Proportion:

Δ1.00 °C / Δ1.80°F = Δ48.0°C / x.

Solve for x: x = Δ48.0°C × Δ 1.8 °F / Δ1°C = 86.4°F

Conclusion: the increase equals 86.4°F
