Question

a thermometer reads 58.3 °c. what is the temperature in °f?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion formula

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

Step2: Substitute the given value of Celsius

Here, $C = 58.3$. So we calculate $F=\frac{9}{5}\times58.3+32$.
First, $\frac{9}{5}\times58.3 = 9\times11.66=104.94$.
Then, $104.94 + 32=136.94$.

Answer:

$136.94$
