The difference in temperature between two bodies is 30 degree centigrade. What is the difference in degree Fahrenheit?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 54.
- Each Celsius degree is equal to 5/9ths of a Fahrenheit degree and each Fahrenheit degree is equal to 9/5ths of a Celsius degree.
- Hence, 30 * 9/5 = 54 degree Fahrenheit.
- Celsius has 100 degrees between the freezing and boiling point, whereas Fahrenheit has 180 degrees between these two points.
