Question

While Raj was in Italy he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be 14C that day. Raj wasn’t sure if that was hot or cold, so he converted the temperature to degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

Use the formula, F=9/5C+32, where F is the number of degrees in Fahrenheit and C is the number of degrees in Celsius. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

A) 25C
B) 40C
C) 57C
D) 83C

Answer 1

To convert 14°C to degrees Fahrenheit, use the formula F = (9/5)C + 32. The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit would be 83°F.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we can use the formula: F = (9/5)C + 32. Since Raj heard that the temperature in Italy was going to be 14°C, we can substitute 14 for C in the formula.

F = (9/5) * 14 + 32 = 57.2 + 32 = 89.2.

Rounding to the nearest whole number gives us a temperature of 89 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit would be 83°F.
