The formula given in the question for conversion of temperature is

F = 9x/5 + 32

a. When temperature = 0 degrees centigrade, then

F = (9 * 0) / 5 + 32

= 0 + 32

= 32 degree Fahrenheit

b when temperature of boiling water = 100 degree Celsius, then

F = (9 * 100) / 5 + 32

= 900/5 + 32

= 212 degree Fahrenheit

c. When temperature of water is 15 degree Celsius, then

F = (9 * 15) / 5 + 32

= 27 + 32

= 59 degree Fahrenheit
