    Fahrenheit value for the highest temperature on the label should be 14°F.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that,

    The alarm rings whenever the system temperature rises above - 10°C.

    It is given that the operators understand only Fahrenheit scale.

    So, we will convert the highest temperature - 10°C to Fahrenheit.

    Since, we know,

    (0°C * 9/5) + 32 = 32°F

    Thus, we get,

    (-10°C * 9/5) + 32 = (-18+32) °F = 14°F

    Hence, the Fahrenheit value for the highest temperature on the label should be 14°F
