Questions: The temperature is 8°C. What is that in °F?

Transcript text: The temperature is $8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. What is that in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ ?

Solution

Step 1: Understand the Conversion Formula

To convert a temperature from degrees Celsius ($^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$) to degrees Fahrenheit ($^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$), we use the formula:

\[ ^{\circ} \mathrm{F} = \left(^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \times \frac{9}{5}\right) + 32 \]

Step 2: Substitute the Given Temperature

Substitute the given temperature of $8^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ into the formula:

\[ ^{\circ} \mathrm{F} = \left(8 \times \frac{9}{5}\right) + 32 \]

Step 3: Perform the Calculation

First, calculate the multiplication:

\[ 8 \times \frac{9}{5} = 14.4 \]

Then, add 32 to the result:

\[ 14.4 + 32 = 46.4 \]

The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is $\boxed{46.4^{\circ} \mathrm{F}}$.
