What is the temperature in Fahrenheit if wastewater is reported to be 12⁰ C?

• A. 48.9 ⁰F
• B. 53.6 ⁰F
• C. 58.1 ⁰F
• D. 58.4 ⁰F

Answer: (B)

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: \[ F = \left( C \times \frac{9}{5} \right) + 32 \] In this case, the temperature is given as 12 degrees Celsius. Plugging this value into the formula: 1. Multiply 12 by \( \frac{9}{5} \) (which is 1.8): \[ 12 \times 1.8 = 21.6 \] 2. Add 32 to this result: \[ 21.6 + 32 = 53.6 \] Thus, the temperature when converted from 12 degrees Celsius is 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This result corresponds directly to the correct answer, confirming that the conversion was applied appropriately and yields the expected value in Fahrenheit.

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula:

[ F = \left( C \times \frac{9}{5} \right) + 32 ]

In this case, the temperature is given as 12 degrees Celsius. Plugging this value into the formula:

1. Multiply 12 by ( \frac{9}{5} ) (which is 1.8):

[ 12 \times 1.8 = 21.6 ]

2. Add 32 to this result:

[ 21.6 + 32 = 53.6 ]

Thus, the temperature when converted from 12 degrees Celsius is 53.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This result corresponds directly to the correct answer, confirming that the conversion was applied appropriately and yields the expected value in Fahrenheit.
