Convert the following temperatures to degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit: (a) 95°F, the temperature on a hot summer day; (b) 12°F, the temperature on a cold winter day; (c) a 102°F fever; (d) a furnace operating at 1852°F; (e) 273.15°C (theoretically the lowest attainable temperature).

a) 35°C, the temperature on a hot summer day

b) - 11.11°C, the temperature on a cold winter day

c) a 38.88°C fever

d) a furnace operating at 1011.11°C

e) 523.67°F (theoretically the lowest attainable temperature)

Explanation:

°C = (°F - 32) / 1.8 °F = (1.8 * °C) + 32

a) 95°F ⇒ °C = (95 - 32) / 1.8 = 35°C

b) 12°F ⇒ °C = (12 - 32) / 1.8 = - 11.11°C

c) 102°F ⇒ °C = (102 - 32) / 1.8 = 38.88°C

d) 1852°F ⇒ °C = (1852 - 32) / 1.8 = 1011.11°C

e) 273.15°C ⇒ °F = (1.8 * 273.15) + 32 = 523.67°F
