Question

Sadie is planning to go paddleboarding this weekend, but wants to know the water temperature at the lake so she can wear the correct gear. The lake temperature is reported to be 10.5 °C today. After a few sunny days, it should be 1.5 °C warmer this weekend.

what will the water temperature be this weekend in F°?​

Answer 1

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the formula F = (C × 1.8) + 32.

First, we need to convert 10.5 °C to Fahrenheit:

F = (10.5 × 1.8) + 32

F = 18.9 + 32

F = 50.9 °F

Then, we can add the 1.5 °C increase in temperature:

New C temperature = 10.5 + 1.5 = 12 °C

And convert that to Fahrenheit using the same formula:

F = (12 × 1.8) + 32

F = 21.6 + 32

F = 54.6 °F

Therefore, the water temperature this weekend in F° will be approximately 54.6 °F.
