Question

Hi people; there's a question that has been so confusing for me and a friend of mine.

0°C + 0°C = 64°F
Is this correct or wrong?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: 0°C + 0°C = 32°F

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember the conversion equation from Celsius to Fahrenheit:

`y^(\circ)F=(x^(\circ)C * (9)/(5))+32`

In our case x = 0, then y will be:

`(0^(\circ)C * (9)/(5))+32=32`

`y=32^(\circ)F`

Now 0°C + 0°C is just 0°C because if we add a body at a certain temperature to another body with the same temperature the total temperature will the same.

Then, knowing that 0°C = 32°F we can conclude that:

`0^(\circ)C+0^(\circ)C=32^(\circ)F`

I hope it helps you!
