Answer:
(a) F = 320
(b) = F = -5.1625
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula that converts degree Celsius (C) to degree Fahrenheit (F) is:
F = 1.8C + 32
Solving (a): F = 2C
Substitute 2C for F in the above equation
F = 1.8C + 32
2C = 1.8C + 32
Collect like terms
2C - 1.8C = 32
0.2C = 32
Multiply both sides by 5
5 * 0.2C = 32 * 5
C = 160
Recall that F = 2C
F = 2 * 160
F = 320
Solving (b): F = ¼C
Substitute ¼C for F in the above formula
F = 1.8C + 32
¼C = 1.8C + 32
Convert fraction to decimal
0.25C = 1.8C + 32
Collect like terms
0.25C - 1.8C = 32
-1.55C = 32
Divide both sides by -1.55
C = 32/(-1.55)
C = -32/1.55
C = -20.65
Recall that: F = ¼C
F = -¼ * 20.65
F = -5.1625
