Epitaxian is a cutting edge technology company based in South Africa. The company has just finished developing a prototype of a product it is calling the X-13. According to the company's documentation, the X-13 must be operated in a room that is kept at a temperature of 12.7°C. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F)?

Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

To convert the given temperature from degrees Celsius (°C) to degrees Fahrenheit (°F), you can use the following formula:

\[
°F = \left(\frac{9}{5} \times °C\right) + 32
\]

Given:
\[
°C = 12.7
\]

### Step-by-Step Conversion:

1. **Multiply by \(\frac{9}{5}\):**
   \[
   \frac{9}{5} \times 12.7 = 22.86
   \]

2. **Add 32 to the result:**
   \[
   22.86 + 32 = 54.86
   \]

3. **Round to the nearest tenth:**
   \[
   54.86 \approx 54.9
   \]

### Final Answer:
The temperature \( 12.7°C \) is equivalent to \( 54.9°F \).
