Answer:
Buffalo, NY was colder on February 9, 1934
Explanation:
Temperature is the measure of thermal energy present in a given substance. It is a physical property of a matter which can be measured on the Celsius scale (°C), Fahrenheit scale (°F), and Kelvin scale (K).
<u>To convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), we use the equation:</u>
°F = 9/5 (°C) + 32
Given: On February 9, 1934,
Temperature in Buffalo, NY: T₁ = (- 29) °C
Temperature in Anchorage, AL: T₂ = 19 °F
<u>To convert T₁ from °C to °F:</u>
9/5 (- 29 °C) + 32 = (- 52.2) + 32 = (- 20.2) °F
So,
Temperature in Buffalo, NY: T₁ = (- 20.2) °F
Temperature in Anchorage, AL: T₂ = 19 °F
⇒ T₁ < T₂
<u>Therefore, Buffalo, NY was colder on February 9, 1934.</u>
