Answer 2

Answer:

14°C

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. It is measured using an instrument called THERMOMETER. There are different units of measuring temperature which are interconvertible. The units are Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) etc.

In this question, the thermometer reads 57°F. To convert this temperature reading to °C, we use the formula:

[°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5/9

Hence,

[°C] = (57− 32) × 5/9

[°C] = (25) × 5/9

[°C] = 125/9

= 13.888888

Hence, 57°F approximated to the nearest whole number will be 14°C.
