Question

You and your friends are having lunch together and complaining about the cold weather. Kathy begins telling about her spring break trip to warm, sunny Spain. She starts to laugh when she tells the group that she was frustrated when she awoke on the first day to an outside temperature of 18° and a predicted high of 24°. Kathy was laughing because in Spain temperatures are measured in Celsius. What was the predicted high in Farenheit?

Answer 1

Answer:

75.2 degree Fahrenheit was the predicted high temperature.

Explanation:

Predicted high temperature in the Spain = T' = 24°C

In Spain temperatures are measured in Celsius. But we have to calculate the temperature in Fahrenheit .

To convert this temperature into Fahrenheit, we use the conversion factor:

$(T)^oF=(T')^oC\times \frac{9}{5}+32$

$^oF=24\times  \frac{9}{5}+32=75.2^oF$

75.2 degree Fahrenheit was the predicted high temperature.
