What is the temperature in Fahrenheit when converted from 50°C? (Enter a numeric value only. If rounding is necessary, round to the nearest whole number.)

  • A. 150°F
  • B. 122°F
  • C. 120°F
  • D. 145°F
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: F = (C — 9/5) + 32. Plugging in 50°C gives us (50 — 9/5) + 32 = 122°F. Therefore, the correct answer is 122°F. When converting temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit, it's important to remember the formula and apply it correctly. In this case, by substituting 50°C into the formula, it results in 122°F when rounded to the nearest whole number.
