Question

The weather in Europe was unusually warm during the summer of 1995. The TV news reported temperatures as high as 45 degree centigrate. What was the temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?

Answer 1

Answer : The temperature on the Fahrenheit scale was, $113^oF$

Explanation :

The conversion used for the temperature from degree centigrade to Fahrenheit is:

$^oF=(^oC\times \frac{9}{5})+32$

where,

$^oF$ = temperature in Fahrenheit

$^oC$ = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the temperature in degree centigrade is, 45

Now we have to determine the temperature in Fahrenheit.

$^oF=(45^oC\times \frac{9}{5})+32$

$^oF=113$

Therefore, the temperature on the Fahrenheit scale was, $113^oF$
