Question

The two most common units of measuring temperature are degues Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius. The formula below gives a way to take a temperature measured in Fal enheit, F, and convert it to the equivalent temperature in Celsius, C.

C=5/9(F-32)

(a) Rearrange this formula so that it is solved for the variable F.

Answer 1

To solve for F in the temperature conversion formula, C = (5/9)(F-32), we can rearrange the equation by following these steps: multiply both sides by 9/5, add 32 to both sides to isolate F, and obtain the rearranged formula F = (9/5)C + 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for converting temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius is given by: C = (5/9)(F-32). To rearrange this formula to solve for F, we can follow these steps:

1. Start with the equation C = (5/9)(F-32).
2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9/5 to cancel out the 5/9 fraction.
3. The equation becomes (9/5)C = F - 32.
4. Add 32 to both sides of the equation to isolate F.
5. Final rearranged formula: F = (9/5)C + 32.
