the boiling point of jet fuel is 329 degrees F. Rounded to the nearest degree, what is the temperature in degrees Celcius? Use the Formula: C = 5/9(F - 32), where C represents degrees celcius, and F represents degrees fahrenheit.

A). 165 degrees C

B). 183 degrees C

C). 201 degrees C

D). 535 degrees C

Solve:

C = 5/9(F - 32)

Simplify both sides:

C = 5/9(329 - 32) = 0

Simplify:

5/9

Equation at end of step 1:

C - (5/9 * 297) = 0

C - 165 = 0

Solve single variable:

C - 165 = 0

Add 165 to both sides:

C = 165

Therefore, Your answer would be, Letter Choice (A), (C = 165 degrees C

Hope that helps!!!!! Have a great day!!!!! : )
