Final answer:

To convert 38.2°C to Fahrenheit, use the formula F = (C × 9/5) + 32 which gives a result of 100.76°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: F = (C × 9/5) + 32, where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in Celsius. For a temperature of 38.2°C, the conversion would be described by the equation F = (38.2 × 9/5) + 32. When you do the math, you first multiply 38.2 by 9/5 to get 68.76, then add 32 to get a Fahrenheit temperature of 100.76°F.
