What is the Fahrenheit equivalent of 15 degrees Celsius?

• A. 59 deg
• B. 32 deg
• C. 68 deg
• D. 41 deg

Answer: (A)

Converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit uses the simple rule: multiply by 9/5 (or 1.8) and then add 32. This accounts for both the scale size and the different zero points of the two temperature scales. For 15°C: - Multiply by 9/5: 15 × 1.8 = 27 - Add 32 to shift from the Celsius zero to the Fahrenheit zero: 27 + 32 = 59 So, 15°C is 59°F. Note how the other common reference points line up: 0°C is 32°F, 20°C is 68°F, and 5°C is about 41°F.

For 15°C:

• Multiply by 9/5: 15 × 1.8 = 27

• Add 32 to shift from the Celsius zero to the Fahrenheit zero: 27 + 32 = 59

So, 15°C is 59°F.

Note how the other common reference points line up: 0°C is 32°F, 20°C is 68°F, and 5°C is about 41°F.
