What is the temperature 36.9 °C expressed in degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 98.4 °F
• B. 97.2 °F
• C. 104.0 °F
• D. 100.4 °F

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, which is given by: \(F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32\).
2. Substitute the given temperature in Celsius (36.9 °C) into the formula: \(F = \frac{9}{5} \times 36.9 + 32\).
3. Multiply 36.9 by \( \frac{9}{5} \) to scale the Celsius temperature to the Fahrenheit scale.
4. Add 32 to the result from the previous step to adjust for the difference in the zero points of the two scales.
5. The final value obtained after these calculations will be the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
