Convert 100 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using F = 1.8 x C + 32.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 212 degrees F
- Step 1: 1.8 x 100 = 180. Step 2. 180 + 32 = 212. Answer: 212 degrees F. Why not the others: 180 degrees F: the constant 32 was left out. 132 degrees F: the factor 1.8 was left out. 37.8 degrees F: the formula for the opposite conversion was used.
