Question

The temperature gauge in your car records the temperature to be 27°C. What is that temperature to the nearest degree Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

81 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Using the standard Fahrenheit-Celsius conversion formula.

27 * 9/5 = 48.6.

48.6 + 32 = 80.6.

Rounded to 81.

Therefore 81 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

Answer: 81 degrees Fahrenheit

===============================================

Work Shown:

F = (9/5)*C + 32

F = (9/5)*27 + 32

F = 80.6

F = 81

Side note: 9/5 = 1.8
