Question

a medication must be stored between 2°c and 8°c. which of the following temperatures in fahrenheit would be appropriate for storage? 32°f 35°f 38°f 47°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 temperature

When $C = 2$, $F=\frac{9}{5}\times2+32=\frac{18}{5}+32 = 3.6+32=35.6$.

Step3: Convert upper - bound Celsius temperature

When $C = 8$, $F=\frac{9}{5}\times8+32=\frac{72}{5}+32 = 14.4+32 = 46.4$.
The appropriate Fahrenheit temperature range is between $35.6^{\circ}F$ and $46.4^{\circ}F$.

Answer:

$38^{\circ}F$
