The function below allows you to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. Use this function to convert 20 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.

[tex] F(c) = \frac{9}{5} c + 32 [/tex]

A. 68
B. 36
C. 20
D. 94

Answer :

To convert 20 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, you can use the function or formula given:

[tex]\[ F(c) = \frac{9}{5} \times c + 32 \][/tex]

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

Here are the steps to solve the problem:

1. Substitute 20 for [tex]\( c \)[/tex] in the formula.
[tex]\[ F(20) = \frac{9}{5} \times 20 + 32 \][/tex]

2. Multiply [tex]\(\frac{9}{5}\)[/tex] by 20.
[tex]\[ F(20) = 36 + 32 \][/tex]

3. Add 32 to the result.
[tex]\[ F(20) = 68 \][/tex]

Thus, 20 degrees Celsius is equal to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. 68
