The digital sign outside a local bank reports that the temperature is 44 degrees C. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, we use the formula: F = (C × 9/5) + 32. Here, C is the temperature in Celsius.

By plugging in the value:

F = (44 × 9/5) + 32

First, multiply 44 by 9/5:

44 × 9/5 = 79.2

Then, add 32 to 79.2:

F = 79.2 + 32 = 111.2

So, 44 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 111.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
