s shown by the formula F= C+32. At what temperature will a Fahrenheit thermometer read the same as a Celsius thermometer

Answer 1

It will read the same at F = -40.

Explanation:

The relation between fahrenheit and celsius is given by the following equation:

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

At what temperature will a Fahrenheit thermometer read the same as a Celsius thermometer?

This is F for C = F. So

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

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

`9F = 5F - 160`

`4F = -160`

`F = -(160)/(4)`

`F = -40`

It will read the same at F = -40.
