🎮 Game Time! 遊戲時間 Q4
On a hot day in Yuanlin, it is 30°C. Americans use Fahrenheit. What is 30°C in °F?員林大熱天是攝氏 30 度。美國人用華氏,30°C 是華氏幾度?
✅
86°F! Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32. So if an American says “It's 100 degrees!”, that's about 38°C.華氏 86 度!乘以 9、除以 5、再加 32。所以美國人說「100 度!」的時候,其實大約是攝氏 38 度。
