Answer: A)
C=(5)/(9)(F-32)

Explanation:

Given :
F=(9)/(5)C+32 the conversion formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius.

To solve the formula for C , we need to first subtract 32 from both sides , we get

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

Simplify , we get

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

Now, Multiply both sides with the reciprocal of
(9)/(5) i.e.
(5)/(9) , we get

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

Simplify ,

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

Hence,
C=(5)/(9)(F-32)
