Answer :
Final answer:
Wyoming's hottest temperature of 46°C converts to 115°F, after applying the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula (C × 9/5) + 32. Therefore, the answer is A) 115°F.
Explanation:
We need to convert Wyoming's hottest temperature ever recorded, which was 46 degrees Celsius at Basin in 1983, to Fahrenheit. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula (× 9/5) + 32. By applying this formula:
46 × 9/5 = 82.8
Add 32 to this:
82.8 + 32 = 114.8°F
Since temperature is typically rounded to the nearest whole number, 114.8°F would be rounded to 115°F. Thus, the correct choice is A) 115°F.
