Question

If a certain city has a record low for the year of -25 degrees Celsius and a record high of 44 degrees Celsius, find the temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit.

a) -13°F, 111°F

b) -40°F, 112°F

c) -13°F, 69°F

d) -40°F, 111°F

Answer 1

To find temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit, we apply the formula F = (C \times 9/5) + 32. For -25\u00b0C, we get -13\u00b0F, and for 44\u00b0C, we get 111\u00b0F. Thus, the correct answer is -13\u00b0F, 111\u00b0F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit

To convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we use the formula F = (C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32, where F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in degrees Celsius.

For the record low of -25 degrees Celsius, we use the formula:

F = (-25 \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32

F = (-45) + 32

F = -13 degrees Fahrenheit

For the record high of 44 degrees Celsius, we use the formula:

F = (44 \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32

F = (79.2) + 32

F = 111.2 degrees Fahrenheit, which we can round to 111 degrees Fahrenheit.

The correct answer is (d) -13\u00b0F, 111\u00b0F.
