Ed spoke to his cousin in Australia, who told him it was [tex]30^{\circ} C[/tex] that day. Ed wasn't sure about the temperature in Fahrenheit, so he converted the temperature to degrees Fahrenheit.

Use the formula [tex]F=\frac{9}{5} C+32[/tex], where [tex]F[/tex] is degrees Fahrenheit and [tex]C[/tex] is degrees Celsius. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer :

To convert the temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, we can use the formula:

[tex]\[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times C + 32 \][/tex]

where [tex]\( F \)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Celsius.

In this problem, Ed's cousin mentioned that it was [tex]\( 30^{\circ} C \)[/tex].

Let's plug this value into the formula:

1. Start with the given temperature in Celsius: [tex]\( C = 30 \)[/tex].
2. Multiply [tex]\( 30 \)[/tex] by [tex]\(\frac{9}{5}\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 30 = 54 \][/tex]

3. Add [tex]\( 32 \)[/tex] to the result:

[tex]\[ 54 + 32 = 86 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( 30^{\circ} C \)[/tex] is equal to [tex]\( 86^{\circ} F \)[/tex].

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is 86.
