Which of the following is the correct temperature in Fahrenheit corresponding to 36.5 °C?

• A. 97.7 °F
• B. 85.7 °F
• C. 102.2 °F
• D. 68.0 °F

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula to convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit: \(F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32\).
2. Identify the given temperature in Celsius, which is 36.5 °C.
3. Multiply the Celsius temperature by \( \frac{9}{5} \): calculate \(36.5 \times \frac{9}{5}\).
4. Add 32 to the result obtained in the previous step to complete the conversion: \(\left(36.5 \times \frac{9}{5}\right) + 32\).
5. Compare the final value you get with the options provided to determine the correct Fahrenheit temperature.
