Question

You’ve gone to visit your friend in Germany. As you’re getting dressed for a day out, your friend tells you it’s 16 degrees (Celsius) outside. The formula for degrees Celsius in relation to degrees Fahrenheit is

Answer 1

The formula for converting degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit is:

Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 9/5) + 32

To use this formula, you would plug in the temperature in degrees Celsius that your friend told you (16 degrees) and solve for the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

So, if the temperature is 16 degrees Celsius, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit would be:

Fahrenheit = (16 degrees Celsius x 9/5) + 32

= (28.8) + 32

= 60.8 degrees Fahrenheit

Therefore, if your friend told you it was 16 degrees Celsius outside, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit would be approximately 60.8 degrees.
