Question

the average temperatures for two of the worlds hottest places are given. determine which location has the warmer average temperature and by how many degrees fahrenheit. location a: 87.4°f and location b: 30.3°c. the location with the warmer average temperature is (round to the nearest tenth of a degree as needed.) which is warmer by about °f.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert temperature of Location B to Fahrenheit

Use the formula $F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32$. Given $C = 30.3$, then $F=\frac{9}{5}\times30.3+32$.
$F = 1.8\times30.3+32=54.54 + 32=86.54^{\circ}F$.

Step2: Compare the two temperatures

Location A has a temperature of $87^{\circ}F$ and Location B has a temperature of $86.54^{\circ}F$. The difference $\Delta F=87 - 86.54 = 0.46^{\circ}F$.

Answer:

Location A; $0.5$
