Question

The formula, F = 9/5C ×+ 32, converts temperatures between Celsius and fahrenheit degrees. What is the temperature in degrees Celsius that is equivalent to 50 degrees Fahrenheit?A) 9B) 10C) 11D) 12

Answer 1

we have the formula

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

in this problem we have

F=50

substitute

`50=(9)/(5)C+32`

Solve for C

`\begin{gathered} (9)/(5)C=50-32 \\ \\ (9)/(5)C=18 \end{gathered}`

C=(18*5)/9

C=10 degrees

the answer is option B
