Question

a medication is to be stored between 15°c to 25°c. at which of the following temperatures, in fahrenheit, should the pharmacy technician store this medication? 2°f 42°f 62°f 32°f

Explanation:

Step1: Recall temperature - conversion formula

The formula to convert Celsius ($C$) to Fahrenheit ($F$) is $F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32$.

Step2: Convert lower - bound Celsius to Fahrenheit

When $C = 15$, $F=\frac{9}{5}\times15+32$.
First, calculate $\frac{9}{5}\times15 = 27$. Then $F=27 + 32=59$.

Step3: Convert upper - bound Celsius to Fahrenheit

When $C = 25$, $F=\frac{9}{5}\times25+32$.
First, calculate $\frac{9}{5}\times25=45$. Then $F = 45+32 = 77$.
The medication should be stored between $59^{\circ}F$ and $77^{\circ}F$. Among the given options, the only value within this range is $62^{\circ}F$.

Answer:

$62^{\circ}F$
