Which is equal to a temperature of [tex]20^{\circ} C[/tex]?

A. [tex]20^{\circ} F[/tex]
B. [tex]68^{\circ} F[/tex]
C. [tex]36^{\circ} F[/tex]
D. [tex]32^{\circ} F[/tex]



Answer :

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the following formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Temperature in} \ ^{\circ}F = \left(\frac{9}{5} \times \text{Temperature in} \ ^{\circ}C \right) + 32 \][/tex]

Let's apply this formula to convert [tex]\(20^{\circ}C\)[/tex] to Fahrenheit:

1. Start with the Celsius temperature: [tex]\(20^{\circ}C\)[/tex].
2. Multiply the Celsius temperature by [tex]\(\frac{9}{5}\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 20 \times \frac{9}{5} = 36 \][/tex]

3. Add 32 to the result from the previous step:

[tex]\[ 36 + 32 = 68 \][/tex]

Hence, [tex]\(20^{\circ}C\)[/tex] is equal to [tex]\(68^{\circ}F\)[/tex].

Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 68^{\circ}F \][/tex]

So, [tex]\(20^{\circ}C\)[/tex] is equal to [tex]\(68^{\circ}F\)[/tex].
