Question

If a wire has insulation that allows it to operate in a temperature of up to 194 degrees Fahrenheit, what temperature will the wire operate up to in degrees Celsius?

a. 108 degrees Celsius
b. 351 degrees Celsius
c. 90 degrees Celsius
d. 162 degrees Celsius

Answer 1

The answer is C. 90 degrees Celsius

Here's how:

We were given a Fahrenheit temperature and was asked to get the Celsius. Using the formula (F-32) 5 / 8 = C, we get the answer in degrees Celsius.

Say:

F = 194

Substitute:

(194-32) 5 / 9 = 90 degrees Celsius

Thus, the result of the given equation is 90 degrees Celsius.
