Question

Temperature can be measured in two different

common units: degrees Celsius and degrees
Fahrenheit.
- f represents the temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit as a function of the temperature cin
degrees Celsius.
f = 32 + 1.8c
What is the temperature increase in degrees
Fahrenheit that is equivalent to a temperature
increase by 10 degrees Celsius?
degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

18 degrees

Explanation:

Assuming our initial temperature in Fahrenheit is 32 (Celsius would be 0)

If we increase by 10 degrees Celsius :F= 32 + 1.8(10)F= 32 + 18The final temperature would be 50 degrees F (Celsius 10), but there would have been an increase of 18 degrees F for the 10 degree change in C
