Answer 1

Celsius is a scale based on
0 = freezing temp of water
100 = boiling temp of water

Fahrenheit has of course 32 and 212, a difference of 180.

Hence to get from temp in celsius, call it C, to to temp in fahrenheit, call it F, we need to scale the temperature by 180/100 and then add 32.

I.e.,

F = 180/100C + 32
= 9/5 . C + 32

Therefore in your case, C = 15. Now substitute and find the temp F.

Answer 2

You can check for reasonableness by making sure that your answer is between 32 and 212, which it had better be, and somewhat closer to 32 than to 212.
