Question

On 15 February 2017, Baguio City recorded a temperature of 7.3°C ---its coldest in 46 years. How much is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

Given:

Recorded temperature = 7.3 degree Celsius

Required: The temperature in Fahrenheit

The relationship between temperature measured in Celsius and Fahrenheit is:

$\begin{gathered} ^0F\text{ = C }\times\frac{9}{5}\text{ + 32} \\ ^0F\text{ is the degree measure in Fahrenheit} \\ ^0C\text{ is the degree measure in Celsuis} \end{gathered}$

Substituting the given temperature value into the formula:

$\begin{gathered} ^0F\text{ = 7.3 }\times\frac{9}{5}\text{ + 32} \\ =\text{ 45.14} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is 45.14
