Teddy is staying in canada. he wants to set the thermostat to around 79°f, but the thermostat is marked only in °c. where should he set the thermostat, to the nearest tenth? a. 11.9°c b. 26.1°c c. 33.6°c d. 84.6°c

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
