What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

  • A. (C 9/5) + 32
  • B. (C 5/9) + 32
  • C. (F 9/5) - 32
  • D. (F 5/9) - 32
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is (C 9/5) + 32. This formula involves multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then adding 32 to get the Fahrenheit temperature. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests dividing by 5/9 instead of multiplying by 9/5. Choices C and D are both incorrect because they involve using the Fahrenheit temperature in the calculation, which is not the correct method for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit.
