The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, F, is related to the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, by the equation F=9/5C+32.
a. In the Sahara desert, temperatures often reach 50 degrees Celsius. How many degrees Fahrenheit is this?
degrees Fahrenheit
b. In parts of Alaska, the temperatures can reach -60 degrees Fahrenheit. How many degrees Celsius is this?
degrees Celsius
c. There is one temperature where the degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius are the same, so that C=F. Use the expression from the equation, where F is expressed in terms of C, to solve for this temperature.
C =
