Solve the question that follows using the equation for the conversion of celsius to fahrenheit. f=95(c)+32 on february 9, 1934, the temperature in buffalo, ny was −29∘c. on the same day in anchorage, al, it was 19∘f. which city was colder on that day? if you do not know how to convert both values to the same temperature scale, open the hints link to step through the problem.

Anchorage was so much colder than NY.

Explanation:

Consider the equation .

NY was 29ºC and Anchorage was 19 ºF; in order to compare both temperatures you have to convert them to the same units. You may convert the NY ºC to ºF or the AL ºF to ºC. The most suitable here is convert ºC to ºF because we know exactly the equation and that is more simple than the ºF to ºC equation. So, we are going to convert 29ºC to Fahrenheit; we just have to replace that ºC value in the equation above;

So, now we know that Buffalo was 84.2 ºF while Anchorage was 19 ºF, so, Anchorage was so much colder than Buffalo.
