Work Step by Step

To answer this question you need to know the formula for converting from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit: (°C x 9/5 )+ 32 = °F A) (°C x $\frac{9}{5}$) + 32 = 106°F °C=$\frac{5(106-32)}{9}$ °C= 41.1 B) (°C x $\frac{9}{5}$) + 32 = 103°F °C=$\frac{5(103-32)}{9}$ °C= 39.4444 (For a more detailed explanation look in Chapter 3 - Matter and Energy - 3.3 Temperature - pages 69-72)
