Convert 26°C to degrees Fahrenheit. Enter a number without units. Hint: T2c = (TF – 32) Question 17 1 pts Convert 7,139 milliliters into gallons. Round your answer to two places after the decimal. Enter a number without units.
The Correct Answer and Explanation is :
Here are the correct answers:
- 26°C to Fahrenheit
Using the formula:
[
T_F = \left(26 \times \frac{9}{5}\right) + 32
]
[
T_F = (46.8) + 32
]
[
T_F = 78.8
]
Answer: 78.8 - 7,139 mL to Gallons
1 gallon = 3,785.41 mL
[
7,139 \div 3,785.41 = 1.89
]
Answer: 1.89
Explanation:
Temperature conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit follows the formula:
[
T_F = (T_C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32
]
Where:
- (T_C) is the temperature in Celsius
- (T_F) is the temperature in Fahrenheit
- The fraction ( \frac{9}{5} ) accounts for the different scaling between the two temperature units.
- Adding 32 shifts the temperature from the Celsius zero point (freezing) to the Fahrenheit zero point.
For volume conversion, the metric system uses milliliters (mL) and liters, while the US customary system uses gallons.
- 1 gallon = 3,785.41 mL
- To convert mL to gallons, divide the given value by 3,785.41.
By applying these formulas correctly, we arrive at 78.8°F and 1.89 gallons as the final answers.
