Question

What was the temperature change in degree Celsius if it is changed from 44 degree Celsius to -56 degree Celsius?

a) -100 degree Celsius
b) -88 degree Celsius
c) -12 degree Celsius
d) 100 degree Celsius

Answer 1

The temperature change from 44 degrees Celsius to -56 degrees Celsius is -100 degrees Celsius. When converting a 40.0°F decrease to Celsius, the temperature decreases by approximately 22.2°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the temperature change in degrees Celsius, you subtract the final temperature from the initial temperature. So if the temperature changed from 44 degrees Celsius to -56 degrees Celsius, the temperature change would be:

(-56 °C) - (44 °C) = -100 °C.

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) -100 degrees Celsius.

Conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius

When there is a decrease in temperature by 40.0°F, the change in degrees Celsius can be found using the conversion formula:

(°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C

For a change in temperature, this becomes:

(°F_change) × 5/9 = °C_change

So for a 40.0°F change:

(40.0°F_change) × 5/9 ≈ 22.2°C_change

Accordingly, the temperature decrease in Celsius for a 40.0°F decrease is about 22.2°C.

Answer 2

a) -100 degree Celsius
