Water boils at 212°F or 100°C and ice melts at 32°F or 0°C . If the temperature of a pot of water is 60°C, what is the temperature of the pot of water in °F?  Pick one.
A) 132°F  B) 140°F  C) 148°F  D) 156°F  E) 164°F
Let F and C denote the temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius respectively.   (F - 32) /(212 - 32) = (C - 0)/(100 - 0)   F = 9C/5 + 32   F = 9(60)/5 + 32 = 140°F   The answer is 140°F.
