Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Conversion Formula

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we use the formula: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \]

Step 2: Substitute the Given Temperature

The given temperature is \(39.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Substitute this value into the formula: \[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 39.5 + 32 \]

Step 3: Perform the Multiplication

First, calculate \(\frac{9}{5} \times 39.5\): \[ \frac{9}{5} \times 39.5 = 7.2 \times 39.5 = 71.1 \]

Step 4: Add 32 to the Result

Now, add 32 to the result from the previous step: \[ 71.1 + 32 = 103.1 \]

Final Answer

The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is: \[ \boxed{103.1^{\circ} \mathrm{F}} \]
