Answer:

15C is 59F

Explanation:

As an equation, F = (1 4/5)C + 32. 1 and 4/5 is the same as 9/5.

Substitute 15 for C.

F = (9/5)C + 32

F = (9/5)(15) + 32 Multiply 15 by the top number in 9/5

F = 135/5 + 32 Convert 32 to a fraction over 5

F = 135/5 + 160/5 Add the numerators under the same denominator

F = 295/5 Divide

F = 59 Degrees in Farenheit

Therefore 15°C is 59°F.
