Question

Calculate the temperature in terms of Fahrenheit for ${125}^{\circ }\text{C}$.

• A. $274{}^{\circ }\text{F}$
• B. $247{}^{\circ }\text{F}$
• C. $257{}^{\circ }\text{F}$
• D. $375{}^{\circ }\text{F}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $257{}^{\circ }\text{F}$

Given:
Temperature in Celsius scale, ${\text{T}}_{\text{C}}=125{}^{\circ }\text{C}$
Temperature in Fahrenheit scale, $\text{F}=?$
We know that, $\text{F}=\frac{9}{5}\text{C}+32$
Substituting, $\text{C}=125{}^{\circ }\text{C}$ we get,
$\text{F}=\frac{9}{5}\left(125\right)+32$
i.e. $\text{F}=225+32$
$\text{F}=257{}^{\circ }\text{F}$
