Question

The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)

The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)
Which of the following formulas correctly solves for F?

F = 9 over 5C + 32
F = 9 over 5C − 32
F = 9C + 32 over 5
F = 9C − 32 over 5

Answer 1

F = 9 over 5C + 32

Explanation:

Answer 2

F = 9 over 5C + 32

Explanation:

Let's consider the following equation that shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F.

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)

C = 5/9 (F − 32)

To solve for F, first, we will multiply both sides by 9/5.

C × 9/5 = 5/9 (F − 32) × 9/5

9/5 C = F − 32

Now, we add 32 to both sides.

9/5 C + 32 = F − 32 + 32

9/5 C + 32 = F

F = 9 over 5C + 32
