Question

in science class, savannah measures the temperature of a liquid to be 24° celsius. her teacher wants her to convert the temperature to degrees fahrenheit. what is the temperature of savannahs liquid to the nearest degree fahrenheit?
-4°f
45°f
11°f
75°f

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion formula

The formula to convert Celsius ($C$) to Fahrenheit ($F$) is $F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32$.

Step2: Substitute the value of $C$

Given $C = 24$, substitute into the formula: $F=\frac{9}{5}\times24+32$.
First, calculate $\frac{9}{5}\times24=\frac{216}{5}=43.2$.
Then, $F=43.2 + 32$.

Step3: Calculate the final value

$F=43.2+32 = 75.2$.
Rounding $75.2$ to the nearest degree gives $75$.

Answer:

D. $75^{\circ}F$
