Question

You’ve gone to visit your friend in Germany. As you’re getting dressed for a day out, your friend tells you it’s 16 degrees (Celsius) outside. The formula for degrees Celsius in relation to degrees Fahrenheit is

C=(5F−160)/9
.

a. Invert this equation to solve for Fahrenheit.
b. Tell what the temperature is in degrees Fahrenheit.
c. What kind of clothing should you wear for the day to be comfortable at that temperature?
d. Is there a temperature at which Celsius and Fahrenheit are described by the same number? Explain how you would find that number.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: The formula we are looking at :

C=(5F-160)/9

Multiply both sides by 9 to remove the denominator

9C=(5F-160)/9 *9

9C=(5F-160)

To get F terms on own add 160 both sides

9C+160=5F

we have 5F we need F

Must divide both sides by 5

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

(9C+160)/5=F

You can divide through by 5

9C/5+160/5=F

1.8C+32=F.........answer for question (a)

b. If C=16 degrees substitute into

1.8*16+32=F

60.8=F

c. Light clothing nothing to heavy

d. S0 we want to know at what point at which the temperatures are the same.

It occurs at -40degrees Celsius and -40 degrees farenheit

Do a search on the internet at what temperature are celsius and farenheit equal?

Answer 2

a. 1.8C+32=F

b. F=60.8

c. light coat or hoodie or sweater

Explanation:

a:

C=(5F-160)/9

9C=5F-160

9C+160=5F

1.8C+32=F

b:

1.8(16)+32=F

F=60.8
