Solution

The correct option is A (+(*(/95)50)32)

LISP code to convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit is (+(*(/95)50)32).

Temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius. ... The freezing point of water in degrees Celsius is 0 while in degrees Fahrenheit it is 32. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Given that the function is linear, use this information to find an equation for .

To convert temperatures in degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 (or 9/5) and add 32. Well there IS a 1.8 x ratio between Fahrenheit degrees and Celsius degrees, but the origin is at -40 degrees instead of at zero. For the boiling point of water F+40 = 1.8 x (100+40) = 252 = 212 + 40.

To find the temperature when both are equal, we use an old algebra trick and just set ºF = ºC and solve one of the equations. So the temperature when both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are the same is -40 degrees.
