Question

The relationship between the temperature expressed in the degree Fahrenheit a (F) and degree Celsius (c) is given by the formula F=9/5C+32. If the temperature is 5 degrees Fahrenheit, what is in the degree Celsius?

Answer 1

-15 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the temperature expressed in the degree Fahrenheit a (F) and degree Celsius is given below:

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

If the temperature is 5 degrees Fahrenheit, we have that:

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

We then solve for C.

`\begin{gathered} 5-32=(9C)/(5)+32-32 \\ (9C)/(5)=-27 \\ 9C=-27*5 \\ C=(-27*5)/(9) \\ C=-15 \end{gathered}`

The temperature in degree Celsius will be -15.
