Question

During his science experiment, Yuri measured the temperature of a water sample as 24 degrees Celsius. To determine the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, he used the formula F = StartFraction 9 Over 5 EndFraction C + 32, where F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in degrees Celsius. Which is a correct step in the process Yuri should take to convert the temperature? Check all that apply.

Substitute 24 for F.

Substitute 24 for C.

Add 32 to C before multiplying by StartFraction 9 Over 5 EndFraction.

Multiply the value of C by StartFraction 9 Over 5 EndFraction before adding 32.

24 Degrees Celsius is 75.2 Degrees Fahrenheit.

24 Degrees Celsius is 100.8 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

75.2 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

F = StartFraction 9 Over 5 EndFraction C + 32

• Substitute 24 for C.

• Multiply the value of C by StartFraction 9 Over 5 EndFraction before adding 32.

• 24 Degrees Celsius is 75.2 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

- Substitute 24 for C

- Add 32 to C before multiplying by StartFraction 9 Over 5 EndFraction

- 24 Degrees Celsius is 100.8 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Given the conversion formula from Fahrenheit to Celsius as

F = 9/5(C+32)

If the temperature of the water in Celsius is 24°, converting this to Fahrenheit will require Yuri to follow the following steps:

Step 1:

Substitute 24° for C to have

F = 9/5(24+32)

Step 2:

Add 32 to C before multiplying by 9/5

Adding 32 to C first:

F = 9/5(56)

Then multiplying the result by 9/5 gives:

F = 9/5×56

F = 100.8°F

This leads to step 3

Step 3:

24 Degrees Celsius is 100.8 Degrees Fahrenheit.
