Question

modeling real life in which city is the water temperature higher? portland 38°f boston 2°c current water temperatures boston portland

Explanation:

Step1: Convert Boston's temperature to Fahrenheit

Use the formula $F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32$. For $C = 2$, we have $F=\frac{9}{5}\times2+32=\frac{18}{5}+32 = 3.6+32=35.6^{\circ}F$.

Step2: Compare the temperatures

Portland's water - temperature is $38^{\circ}F$ and Boston's is $35.6^{\circ}F$. Since $38>35.6$.

Answer:

Portland
