Type the correct answer in the box.

The thermometer hanging on Jessica's patio reads [tex]$18^{\circ} C$[/tex] on a cool autumn day.

The temperature on Jessica's patio in Fahrenheit is [tex]\square \, { }^{\circ} F[/tex].

Use this formula to convert the temperature: [tex]T_{\left( { }^{\circ} F \right)}=\frac{9}{5} \times T_{\left( { }^{\circ} C \right)} + 32[/tex].



Answer :

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

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

We are given that the temperature on Jessica’s patio is [tex]\( 18^{\circ}C \)[/tex]. Plug this value into the formula:

1. Start by multiplying 18 (degrees Celsius) by [tex]\(\frac{9}{5}\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 18 = \frac{9 \times 18}{5} \][/tex]

2. Calculate [tex]\( 9 \times 18 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 9 \times 18 = 162 \][/tex]

3. Now divide 162 by 5:

[tex]\[ \frac{162}{5} = 32.4 \][/tex]

4. Finally, add 32 to 32.4 to convert to Fahrenheit:

[tex]\[ 32.4 + 32 = 64.4 \][/tex]

Therefore, the temperature on Jessica's patio in Fahrenheit is [tex]\( 64.4^{\circ}F \)[/tex].
