Question

Convert the Celsius temperature of the surface of the sun, which is

5,500°C, to degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

So,

The conversion factor is:


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

So, if we plug in the numbers, we get:

`F = 5500 * (9)/(5) +32`

Multiply

`(5500)/(1) * (9)/(5) = 9900`

Add 32

`9900 + 32 = 9932`

5500 degrees Celsius = 9932 degrees Farenheit.
