Which of the following is the correct temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) when 50 °C is converted using the formula F = (C × 9/5) + 32?

• A. 132 °F
• B. 122 °F
• C. 20 °F
• D. 10 °F

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given temperature in Celsius (°C), which is 50 °C in this problem.
2. Recall the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: \(F = (C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32\).
3. Substitute the given Celsius temperature into the formula: \(F = (50 \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32\).
4. First, multiply 50 by 9/5: calculate \$50 \times \frac{9}{5}$.
5. Then, add 32 to the result from the previous step to find the temperature in Fahrenheit.
