Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the formula to convert temperature from degrees Celsius (\(\degree\) C) to degrees Fahrenheit (\(\degree\) F). The formula is:
\[ F = \frac{9}{5} C + 32 \]
Substitute the given temperature in Celsius (38.6 \(\degree\) C) into the formula:
\[ F = \frac{9}{5} \times 38.6 + 32 \]
Multiply \( \frac{9}{5} \) by 38.6 to find the intermediate value:
\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 38.6 \]
Add 32 to the result from the previous step to complete the conversion:
\[ F = \left( \frac{9}{5} \times 38.6 \right) + 32 \]
The final value you get after performing these calculations will be the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
