question 13
4 points
the digital sign outside a local bank reports that the temperature is 16 °c. what is the temperature in degrees fahrenheit?
79 °f
99 °f
61 °f
40 °f

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

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

Step2: Substitute \(C = 16\) into the formula

Substitute \(C = 16\) into \(F=\frac{9}{5}C+32\). First, calculate \(\frac{9}{5}\times16\). \(\frac{9}{5}\times16=\frac{144}{5} = 28.8\). Then add 32 to this result: \(F=28.8 + 32=60.8\approx61\).

Answer:

61 °F (corresponding to the option "61 °F")
