Question

The relationship between degrees Fahrenheit (F) and degrees Celcius (C) is given by the formula straight F space equals space 9 over 5 space C space plus space 32. What is the Celcius temperature when the Fahrenheit temperature is 41? Round answer to the nearest whole number. 55 5 -9 41 16

Answer 1

`C = 5`

Explanation:

Given

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

Required

Find C when
`F = 41`

We have:

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

Substitute 41 for F

`41 = (9)/(5)C + 32`

Collect like terms

`(9)/(5)C = 41- 32`

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

Multiply both sides by 5/9

`C = 9 * (5)/(9)`

`C = 5`
