C = 5/9f - 32....for f
C + 32 = 5/9f
9/5(C + 32) = f

Answer: c. cap f equals start fraction nine over five end fraction cap c plus 32

Explanation:

Given: The equation cap c equals start fraction five over nine end fraction left parenthesis cap f minus 32 right parenthesis is used to convert Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius temperature.

i.e.
C=(5)/(9)(F-32)

To rearrange the given equation for F , we first Multiply 9 and divide 5 on both sides , we get


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

Now, Add 32 on both the sides , we get


F(9)/(5)C+32

i.e. " cap f equals start fraction nine over five end fraction cap c plus 32"
