Temperature Twist

"What's the temperature in Fahrenheit, required for the chemical reaction?" asked the student.

"Its a two digit number in Celsius and if you switch the place you get the temperature in Fahrenheit" explained the professor.

"That is still ambiguous !" said the student.

"You are smart ! Choose the pair with more evens !"

16C is 61.11rF

28C is 82.4F

28C/82F is the answer

No... 28C only has two significant digits. Therefore you have no reason to claim any more accuracy than 82F in your conversion.

28.0C would be 82.4F.
