The standard relationship between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) degrees is given by the formulas: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9 Reviewing the given options: A) °C = °F + 32 (Incorrect) B) °C = °F – 273.15 (Incorrect; relates Celsius and Kelvin) C) °F = °C + 32 (Incorrect; misses the factor 9/5, but correctly incorporates the offset of 32) D) °F = °C – 273.15 (Incorrect) None of the options provide the strictly correct mathematical relationship. However, option C, °F = °C + 32, includes the correct offset (32) which is a key component of the conversion formula, suggesting it might be intended as the answer despite its inaccuracy (missing the multiplier). It correctly relates the freezing point of water (0°C = 32°F). Given the flawed options, option C is the closest structurally to the correct formula and captures the correct offset value.
Which of the following is a correct relationship between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) degrees?
