What is the equivalent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit for 60 degrees Celsius?

• A. 100 °F
• B. 140 °F
• C. 60 °F
• D. 112 °F

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula to convert temperature from Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F): \(\displaystyle F = \frac{9}{5} C + 32\).
2. Substitute the given Celsius temperature (60 °C) into the formula: \(\displaystyle F = \frac{9}{5} \times 60 + 32\).
3. Calculate the multiplication part first: \(\displaystyle \frac{9}{5} \times 60\).
4. Add 32 to the result obtained from the multiplication to find the Fahrenheit temperature.
5. Interpret the final value as the equivalent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit for 60 °C.
