Determine the temperature in degrees Celsius if the temperature is 95°F
[12]

Answer 1

a. 0°C =
`32^(o)`F

b. 95°F =
`35^(o)`

Explanation:

a. The temperature of melting point of ice (0°C) in degrees Fahrenheit can be determined as;

OF = (1.8 x °C) + 32

= (1.8 x 0) + 32

OF = 32

Thus the temperature is
`32^(o)`F.

b. 95°F in degrees Celsius can be determined by;

°C = ( °F - 32) ÷ 1.8

= (95 - 32) ÷ 1.8

= 63 ÷ 1.8

°C =
`35^(o)`

Thus the temperature is
`35^(o)`C.
