Final answer:

After converting 24°C to Fahrenheit, the temperature of the pool is 75.2°F, which is lower than Emma's required 82°F. Therefore, the pool is not warm enough for her to swim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emma wants to know if the swimming pool is warm enough for her to swim, which requires it to be at least 82°F.

The pool currently reads 24°C.

To determine if the water is warm enough, we need to convert 24°C to Fahrenheit using the conversion formula:

(°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F.

Using the formula above:

24°C × 9/5 = 43.2

43.2 + 32 = 75.2°F

Since 75.2°F is lower than Emma's minimum requirement of 82°F, the swimming pool is not warm enough for her to swim.
