the formula for converting centigrade temperature to Fahrenheit is F=9/5 C+32. What is the difference in Fahrenheit degrees between a temperature of 0C and a temperature of 15C
9/5 (15-0) = 27
To find the difference in Fahrenheit degrees between a temperature of 0°C and a temperature of 15°C, we can use the formula provided: F = (9/5)C + 32.
First, we need to calculate the Fahrenheit temperature for both values of C.
For 0°C:
F = (9/5)(0) + 32
= 0 + 32
= 32°F
For 15°C:
F = (9/5)(15) + 32
= (135/5) + 32
= 27 + 32
= 59°F
Next, we find the difference between the two Fahrenheit temperatures by subtracting the smaller value from the larger value:
Difference = 59°F - 32°F
= 27°F
Therefore, the difference in Fahrenheit degrees between a temperature of 0°C and a temperature of 15°C is 27°F.
