How do you convert 100 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit?

212 degrees Fahrenheit
180 degrees Fahrenheit
160 degrees Fahrenheit
200 degrees Fahrenheit

The correct answer is: 212 degrees Fahrenheit

To convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, the formula used is: F = (C × 9/5) + 32 When we apply this formula to convert 100 degrees Celsius, we multiply 100 by 9/5, which equals 180. Then, we add 32 to that result: 180 + 32 = 212 degrees Fahrenheit. This calculation confirms that 100 degrees Celsius is indeed equal to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the correct answer. Understanding this conversion formula is fundamental in thermodynamics and various applications in science and engineering, as it allows for the understanding of temperature in different scales. Being familiar with this aspect is crucial for maintenance technologists when working with equipment that may use either Celsius or Fahrenheit in their temperature readings.
