The correct way would be: While she was sleeping, the alarm kept ringing in Jamie's ear.

<u><em>While</em></u> contains the element of duration and it is better to use a progressive form.

<u><em>Sleeping</em></u><em> </em>is a verb that has duration, so it should not be conjugated in the past simple if there is a simultaneous action.

The thermometer hanging on Jessica’s patio reads 18°C on a cool autumn day. The temperature on Jessica’s patio in Fahrenheit is
Readme [11.4K]
We are to convert the temperature that Jessica was able to read on a cool autumn day from °C to °F. To solve this, we need to recall the formula in converting temperature from °C to °F and this is shown below:
F = (9/5)C + 32, Jessica reads 18°C and substitute this to C in the formula such as:
F = (9/5)18 + 32 
F = 32.4 + 32 , perform addition of 32.4 and 32
F = 62.4 °F

The answer is 62.4 °F.
