    Challenging problems;

    Problem 1: Ocean Temperature


    Context: Marine biologists often study the temperature of ocean water in different regions to
    understand marine life habitats.
    Problem: The temperature of a specific oceanic zone is recorded as 18.5°C. For a comparative
    study, this temperature needs to be converted to Fahrenheit. Also, if the temperature is increased by
    5°F, what would the new temperature be in both Celsius and Fahrenheit?

    Problem 2: Marine Mammal Tracking


    Context: Marine biologists track the movements of marine mammals using GPS devices that
    provide distance measurements in various units.
    Problem: A marine mammal travels 120 nautical miles from its original location. Convert this
    distance to kilometers and then to miles. If the mammal continues traveling at a speed of 15 knots,
    calculate the total distance it will travel in 5 hours, converting this distance to both kilometers and
    miles.
    Conversion Factors:
    • 1 nautical mile = 1.852 kilometers
    • 1 nautical mile = 1.15078 miles
    • 1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour
