convert -32°c to degrees fahrenheit. round your answer to the correct number of significant figures. °f
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall conversion formula
The formula to convert Celsius ($C$) to Fahrenheit ($F$) is $F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32$.
Step2: Substitute value of C
Substitute $C=-32$ into the formula: $F=\frac{9}{5}\times(-32)+ 32$. First, calculate $\frac{9}{5}\times(-32)=9\times(-6.4)= - 57.6$. Then, $F=-57.6 + 32$.
Step3: Calculate result
$F=-25.6\approx - 26$ (rounded to two significant - figures).
Answer:
$-26$
