Question

Given this equation for converting temperature from Fahrenheit (f) to Celsius (c) is C = [5(f – 32)]/9, what is the Celsius temp when Fahrenheit is 104 degrees?

Answer 1

40 degrees

Explanation:

Substitute f = 104:

`C = \frac{5(f - 32)}9 \\\\\to C = \frac{5(104 - 32)}9 \\\\\to C = \frac{5 * 72}9 \\\\\to C = 5 * 8 = 40 \text{ degrees}`
