Question

Geophysicists have estimated that the temperature at the center of the Earth's

core is at least 5000°C. Express this temperature in Fahrenheit degrees.

CA 8703 °F

B 9032°F

C 10,087°F

D 5609°F

Answer 1

Answer: B. 9032°F

Explanation:

First we take down the data made available to us.

Estimated temperature of the Earth's core = 5000° Celsius

Now to express this temperature in Fahrenheit, we make use of the formula;

[°F] = [°C] × 9/5 + 32

Where

[°F] is temperature in Fahrenheit and

[°C] is temperature in Celsius

So we just input our figure into the formula

[°F] = [5000°] × 9/5 + 32

°F = 5000 × 1.8 + 32

°F = 9000 + 32

°F = 9032°

So 5000° Celsius is expressed as 9032° Fahrenheit
