Transcript text: The lowest recorded temperature in Canada was $-63^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in Snag, Yukon on February 3, 1947. Convert this temperature to Fahrenheit.
ANSWER
$-53^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
$-81.4^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
$210^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
$-81^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Conversion Formula
To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we use the formula:
\[
F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32
\]
where \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit and \( C \) is the temperature in Celsius.
Step 2: Substitute the Given Temperature
The given temperature in Celsius is \( -63^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \). Substitute this value into the formula:
\[
F = \frac{9}{5}(-63) + 32
\]
