Q

Electric motors intended for use outside the engine room and boiler room are frequently rated to run at a designed ambient temperature of 40°C. What is the equivalent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Temperature conversion formula between Celsius and Fahrenheit • Relationship between a change of 1°C and the corresponding change in °F • How to handle multiplication and addition in the conversion formula carefully

💭 Think About

• What is the standard formula to convert a temperature from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit? Write it down before plugging in numbers. • When you multiply 40 by the fraction in the formula, what number do you get before adding the constant? • After you add the constant in the formula, which of the choices is closest to your result?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using Celsius to Fahrenheit, not the reverse formula. • Carefully check the order of operations: multiply first, then add. • Confirm the final value is reasonable: 40°C should be well above room temperature in °F, not cooler.
