well if a dimes 10 and a nickels 5 the answer would be 9.. UK here pence and pounds
What is the only country that uses Fahrenheit?
The Fahrenheit scale is still used in English-speaking countries for purposes other than scientific work, particularly by older people who were not familiar with the Celsius scale when it became the international standard.Answer 2Not quite true. In the UK °C (Celsius) are used for all purposes, though I admit some older people still think in Fahrenheit.AFAIK the USA is the only country which still uses Fahrenheit.
What does WC 6 degrees celsius mean?
In this case WC stands for Wind Chill. It is a subjective measure and tries to represent how much colder it feels on a windy day and the value depends on the actual still-air temperature and the speed of the wind where you are. So, on a windy day if you stand, say, outside a barn it will feel colder than if you were standing inside the barn where the air temperature would be about the same but it would be almost still. Calculation of wind chill is a bit complicated but as you can see it can vary by just where you are so is just an indication of how cold it's likely to feel. 6°C (Wind Chill) might represent an expected air temperature of 12°C with a fairly strong wind that will feel like it's just 6°C.

Why does the US still use Fahrenheit?
The USA is very resistant to metrication.The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in most English-speaking countries until the 1960s. In the late 1960's and 1970's, the Celsius (formerly centigrade) scale was adopted by most of these countries as part of the standardizing process called metrication. Only in the United States and a few other countries does the Fahrenheit system continue to be used, and only for non-scientific use. Most other countries have adopted Celsius as the primary scale in all use, although Fahrenheit continues to be the scale of preference for a minority of people in the UK, particularly when referring to summer temperatures. Most Britons are conversant with both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Resistance to the Celsius system was partly due to the larger size of each degree Celsius, resulting in the need for fractions, where integral Fahrenheit degrees were adequate for much technical work. The lower zero point in the Fahrenheit system reduced the number of negative signs when measurements such as weather data were averagedthe US is used to this system (not keen on change) also they do not use the Metric system either like they do in most countries, they also do not have a Universal health care system, eventually all this will change with different generations one would think.
Where in the world do people use Fahrenheit and Celsius?
Fahrenheit is now only used in the USA, Belize and Jamaica. In the UK the unofficial benchmark summer temperature however is 100 Fahrenheit but other than that the standard in Celsius.Celsius is the standard for the rest of the world. Except in certain scientific fields such as astronomy the Kelvin scale is used.
