snowfall may occur at temperatures around -5. oc. Convert this temperature to 0F. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures. write answer in scientifc notation
To convert -5. °C to °F, we will use the conversion formula:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Substituting -5. for °C:
°F = (-5. × 9/5) + 32
°F = -9 + 32
°F = 23
Since the original temperature -5. °C has three significant figures, the converted temperature 23 °F will also have three significant figures.
Therefore, the temperature -5. °C is equivalent to 23 °F in scientific notation, which can be written as 2.3 x 10^1 °F.
