Q

If a thermometer reads 80°C, what is the equivalent temperature in °F?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula • Difference between temperature change and absolute temperature conversion • Order of magnitude check: what Fahrenheit range feels like very hot water?

💭 Think About

• What is the standard formula to convert a temperature from °C to °F? Write it down and plug in 80 for °C. • After multiplying by 9/5, what do you need to do next to complete the conversion? • Once you get a number, does it make sense for very hot water compared to normal body temperature (about 98°F)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you multiply by 9/5 first, then add 32, not the other way around. • Check that your final answer is warmer than 98°F, because 80°C is much hotter than body temperature. • Verify that your result is well above room temperature (around 68–77°F), since 80°C is near scalding.
