Question

in the united states, operating rooms are typically kept at a temperature of about 23°c, on average. what is this temperature in °f? 73 °f 59 °f 69 °f 70 °f 85 °f

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

The formula to convert temperature from Celsius (\(^{\circ}\text{C}\)) to Fahrenheit (\(^{\circ}\text{F}\)) is \(^{\circ}\text{F}=\frac{9}{5}\times^{\circ}\text{C} + 32\).

Step2: Substitute the given Celsius temperature into the formula

We are given that the temperature in Celsius is \(23^{\circ}\text{C}\). Substituting \(^{\circ}\text{C} = 23\) into the formula:
\[

$$\begin{align*} ^{\circ}\text{F}&=\frac{9}{5}\times23 + 32\\ &=\frac{207}{5}+ 32\\ & = 41.4+32\\ &=73.4 \end{align*}$$

\]
Among the given options, \(73^{\circ}\text{F}\) is the closest.

Answer:

73 °F (the option corresponding to 73 °F)
