Question

The temperatures of two bodies differ by 1°C. How much will they differ on Fahrenheit scale?

• A. 1°F
• B. 1.2°F
• C. 2.4°F
• D. 1.8°F

Hint:

To convert a temperature difference from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The problem requires us to convert a temperature difference from Celsius to Fahrenheit. The conversion formula between Celsius and Fahrenheit is:

F = (C × 9/5) + 32

For temperature differences, the constant 32 does not affect the result, so we only need:

ΔF = ΔC × 9/5

Given that the temperature difference ΔC is 1°C:

ΔF = 1 × 9/5 = 9/5 = 1.8°F

Thus, the temperature difference of 1°C corresponds to a difference of 1.8°F on the Fahrenheit scale. The correct answer is 1.8°F.
