Question

The formula, = / + , converts temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit degrees. What is the temperature in degrees Celsius that is equivalent to 14 degrees FahrenheitA) -10B) -9 C) -8D) -7

Answer 1

Hello there. To answer this question, we need to plug in the value given by the question and solve for C, the temperature in Celsius.

We want to find the equivalent temperature in Celsius to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

Knowing that F = 9/5C + 32, making F = 14 lead us to:

14 = 9/5C + 32

Subtract 32 on both sides of the equation

9/5C = -18

Multiply both sides of the equation by a factor of 5/9, in order to get:

C = 5/9 (-18) = -10.

This is the equivalent temperature we were looking for.
