A pharmacy technician is preparing to store insulin. If the fridge reads 4.3° C, what is this in Fahrenheit?

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula:

F = (C × 9/5) + 32.

In this case, you have a temperature of 4.3° C. Plugging this value into the formula:

1. Multiply 4.3 by 9/5, which is 7.74.

2. Then add 32 to this result: 7.74 + 32 = 39.74° F.

When rounding to one decimal place, this is approximately 39.7° F. This temperature is important for storing insulin, as it should be kept at a consistent temperature, ideally within the recommended range to maintain its efficacy.

The other options do not correspond to the conversion of 4.3° C to Fahrenheit, as they reflect either calculations with incorrect values or misinterpretations of the conversion formula.
