Question

Susan is planning a vacation. The travel agent says the average high temperature at the resort is −5

−
5
degrees Celsius. What is the equivalent Fahrenheit temperature?

Answer 1

23 degrees F.

Explanation:

(F - 32) / 9 = C/5 where T = degrees F and C = degrees C.

(F - 32) / 9 = -5/5

(F - 32) / 9 = -1

F - 32 = -9

F = -9 + 32

= 23 degrees F.
