What is the approximate temperature in Centigrade if it is a hot summer day at 95 degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 32 degrees Centigrade
• B. 35 degrees Centigrade
• C. 40 degrees Centigrade
• D. 45 degrees Centigrade

Answer: (B)

To convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade, you can use the formula: \[ C = \frac{(F - 32) \times 5}{9} \] Where \( C \) is the temperature in Centigrade and \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit. Plugging in 95 for Fahrenheit: \[ C = \frac{(95 - 32) \times 5}{9} \] \[ C = \frac{63 \times 5}{9} \] \[ C = \frac{315}{9} \] \[ C \approx 35 \] This calculation shows that 95 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 35 degrees Centigrade, making it the correct answer. This temperature reflects typical conditions for a hot summer day. The other options would have resulted from either miscalculations of the formula or incorrect interpretations of temperature conversions.

To convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade, you can use the formula:

[ C = \frac{(F - 32) \times 5}{9} ]

Where ( C ) is the temperature in Centigrade and ( F ) is the temperature in Fahrenheit. Plugging in 95 for Fahrenheit:

[ C = \frac{(95 - 32) \times 5}{9} ]

[ C = \frac{63 \times 5}{9} ]

[ C = \frac{315}{9} ]

[ C \approx 35 ]

This calculation shows that 95 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 35 degrees Centigrade, making it the correct answer. This temperature reflects typical conditions for a hot summer day. The other options would have resulted from either miscalculations of the formula or incorrect interpretations of temperature conversions.
