Question

Formula C =

5(F - 32) can be used to convert temperatures in
degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius

Answer 1

The formula C = 5(F - 32), is misspelled.

The formula °C = 5/9 (°F - 32), is the formula to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. Therefore it is True.

• If the formula is written as if C =5(F - 32), it is false, because /9 is missing.
• But if it is written like this °C = 5/9 (°F -32), it is correct, because if you write the formula to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.
