Question

In Death Valley, California, the highest ground temperature recorded was 94°C on July 15, 1972. In the formula C= 5/9 (F - 32) , C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius and F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. To the nearest degree, what is the highest ground temperature in Death Valley in Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

`F=201.2\°`

Explanation:

we know that

`\°C=(5)/(9)[\°F-32]`

For
`C=94\°`

substitute in the formula and solve for F

`94=(5)/(9)[F-32]`

`((9)/(5))*94=[F-32]`

`F=((9)/(5))*94+32`

`F=201.2\°`
