Question

Given the question C = 5/9 * (F - 32), what are you trying to find when the question is asked, "Find C?"

a) F
b) 5/9
c) C
d) 59

Answer 1

To find C, we need to substitute the value of F into the equation and solve for C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is C = ⅕ * (F - 32). To find C, we need to substitute the value of F into the equation and solve for C.

Let's assume F is the temperature in Fahrenheit degrees that we want to convert to Celsius. We plug in this value into the equation:

C = ⅕ * (F - 32)

Now we can simplify the equation and calculate the value of C using the given equation:

C = ⅕ * (F - 32) = ⅕ * (40 - 32) = ⅕ * 8 = 4.4

Therefore, when the question asks to find C, we are trying to find the value of the temperature in Celsius.
