Question

On a winter day the temperature at a place in Himachal Pradesh was$-16°C$. Convert it into degree Fahrenheit $(°F)$

Answer 1

Step 1. Given data

Temperature at a place in Himachal Pradesh =$-16°C$

Step 2. Formula used

$\frac{C}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9}$

Where $C$is the temperature in Celsius and $F$ is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

Step 3. Find the temperature in Fahrenheit.

We know that $C=-16°$.

Thus the temperature in Fahrenheit will be

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{C}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{-16}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9} \\ \Rightarrow -144=5F-160 \\ \Rightarrow 5F=16 \\ \Rightarrow F=\frac{16}{5} \\ \Rightarrow F=3.2°F \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is $3.2°F$.
