Question
A 2017 Stanford University study suggests there's a $50 \%$ chance that the global temperature increase by the year 2100 will lie in the range $3.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $4.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Translate this range into Fahrenheit.
Step 1
The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is given by: \[ T_F = \frac{9}{5}T_C + 32 \] where \(T_F\) is the temperature in Fahrenheit and \(T_C\) is the temperature in Celsius. Show more…

Solve. As of 2017 , the highest temperature ever recorded in the state of Washington was $42^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Find the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature to the nearest degree. (Data from National Climatic Data Center.)
In the United Kingdom the Celsius scale has been used almost exclusively for expressing temperatures since the $1970 \mathrm{~s}$, except that some broadcasters and publications still quote Fahrenheit temperatures in weather forecasts for the benefit of those born before $1950 .$ In London the average minimum temperature in December is 38 . Is that more likely to be $38^{\circ} \mathrm{F}, 38^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, or $38 \mathrm{~K}$ ? In July the average maximum temperature is 22 . Is that more likely to be $22^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$, $22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, or $22 \mathrm{~K}$ ? By contrast, in the permanently shaded south polar basin of the moon the surface temperature may be $40 .$ Is that more likely to be $40^{\circ} \mathrm{F}, 40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, or $40 \mathrm{~K}$ ?
