Question

Use the formula C = 5 (F – 32). To determine which temperature is hotter.

30° Celsius or 85° Fahrenheit. Write just the number as your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The formula u have written is incorrect. It should be C = [5 (F-32)]÷9.

To identify which is hotter, you need to bring both the values either in celsius or in Fahrenheit.

Let's convert 85°F to celsius:

C = [5 ( F - 32 )] ÷ 9

C = [5 ( 85-32 )] ÷ 9

C = [5 (53)] ÷ 9

C = 29.4 °C

thus 30°C is hotter than 85°F
