The temperature is "100.4 °F"100.4 °F.

Explanation:

The formula is

"F" = 9/5"C + 32"F=95C + 32

Hence,

"F" =9/5×38.0 + 32 = 100.4F=95×38.0+32=100.4

The above formula ignores units. Here it is with units.

"F" = 38.0 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("°C"))) × "9 °F"/(5 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("°C")))) + "32 °F" = "68.4 °F + 32 °F" = "100.4 °F"

The temperature is "100.4 °F".
