The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the increase in temperature on the Fahrenheit scale when the temperature increases by 30 degrees Celsius, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit:** The formula that relates Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F) is: \[ C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32) \] 2. **Set up the initial and final temperatures:** Let the initial temperature in Celsius be \( C_1 \) and the final temperature be \( C_2 \). The change in temperature in Celsius is given as: \[ C_2 - C_1 = 30 \text{ degrees} \] 3. **Express the corresponding Fahrenheit temperatures:** Let the initial temperature in Fahrenheit be \( F_1 \) and the final temperature be \( F_2 \). We can express the temperatures in Fahrenheit using the formula: - For \( C_1 \): \[ C_1 = \frac{5}{9}(F_1 - 32) \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] - For \( C_2 \): \[ C_2 = \frac{5}{9}(F_2 - 32) \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 4. **Subtract the two equations:** To find the change in temperature in Fahrenheit, we subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2: \[ C_2 - C_1 = \frac{5}{9}(F_2 - 32) - \frac{5}{9}(F_1 - 32) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ C_2 - C_1 = \frac{5}{9}(F_2 - F_1) \] 5. **Substitute the change in Celsius:** We know that \( C_2 - C_1 = 30 \): \[ 30 = \frac{5}{9}(F_2 - F_1) \] 6. **Solve for the change in Fahrenheit:** Rearranging the equation to find \( F_2 - F_1 \): \[ F_2 - F_1 = 30 \times \frac{9}{5} \] Calculating this gives: \[ F_2 - F_1 = 30 \times 1.8 = 54 \text{ degrees} \] ### Final Answer: The increase in temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is **54 degrees**. ---
