Q:

During his science experiment, Yuri measured the temperature of a water sample as 24 degrees Celsius. To determine the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, he used the formula , where F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in degrees Celsius. Which is a correct step in the process Yuri should take to convert the temperature? Check all that apply.Substitute 24 for F.Substitute 24 for C.Add 32 to C before multiplying by .Multiply the value of C by  before adding 32.  

Accepted Solution

A:
The correct steps to take are substitute 24 for C, Multiply the value of C by 9/5 before adding 32.  Conversion of celsius to FahrenheitThe formula for converting celsius to Fahrenheit is expressed as shown below;(T°C * 9/5) + 32 = T°F
Given the following T°C = 24°CSubstitute(24 * 9/5) + 32 = T°F
multiply the value of C by 9/543.2 + 32 = T°FThen add 32T°F = 74.2°FHence the correct steps to take are substitute 24 for C, Multiply the value of C by 9/5 before adding 32.  Learn more on conversion of  T°F to C°F here:
