Work each problem. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.Temperature at Soviet Antarctica Station A record low temperature of $-89.4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ was recorded at the Soviet Antarctica Station of Vostok on July $21,1983 .$ Find the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature. (Source: World Almanac and Book of Facts.)
Step 1
The formula is $F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32$, where $F$ is the Fahrenheit temperature and $C$ is the Celsius temperature. In this case, $C = -89.4^{\circ}C$. So, we substitute $-89.4$ for $C$ in the formula: $F = \frac{9}{5}(-89.4) + 32$ Show more…
