Question

Using the formula C =5/9(F −32), find C when F is −58∘.? C∘

Answer 1

C = -50 degree Celcius

Explanation:

What to find? The value of C in degree Celcius

Given Parameters

F = -58 degree Fahrenheit

The formula is given below

`C=\text{ }(5)/(9)(F\text{ - 32)}`

Substitute the value of into the equation

`\begin{gathered} C\text{ = }(5)/(9)(-58\text{ - 32)} \\ \text{Solve the expression inside the parenthesis first} \\ C\text{ = }(5)/(9)(-90) \\ C\text{ = }\frac{-5\cdot\text{ 90}}{9} \\ C\text{ = }(-450)/(9) \\ C=-50^oC \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of C is -50 degrees
