Question

The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)

Which of the following formulas correctly solves for F?

F = 9 over 5C + 32

F = 9 over 5C − 32

F = 9C + 32 over 5

F = 9C − 32 over 5

Answer 1

th first answer
F = 9 over 5 C + 32

Answer 2

Option 1 - F = 9 over 5C + 32

Explanation:

Given : The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)

To find : Which of the following formulas correctly solves for F?

Solution :

We can write the equation as

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

Now, we solve for F,

Multiply both side by 9,

`9C=5(F-32)`

Open the brackets,

`9C=5F-160`

`9C+160=5F`

Divide both side by 5,

`(9C+160)/(5)=F`

Solve,

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

So, The value of F is F=9 over 5C +32.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.
