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? 75°f 45°f 11°f -4°f

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the Celsius to Fahrenheit formula

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

Step2: Substitute \(C = 24\) into the formula

Substitute \(C = 24\) into \(F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32\). First, calculate \(\frac{9}{5}\times24\). \(\frac{9}{5}\times24=\frac{216}{5} = 43.2\). Then add 32: \(F=43.2 + 32=75.2\).

Step3: Round to the nearest degree

Rounding \(75.2\) to the nearest degree gives \(75\).

Answer:

\(75^{\circ}F\) (corresponding to the option: 75°F)
