Question

In Satoru's hometown, the highest temperature ever recorded is 111°F.

Convert this temperature to Celsius. Round to the nearest tenth of a
degree. F= _C + 32
5

Answer 1

Explanation:

F=9/5C+32 should be F = (9/5)C + 32

We are given 111 degrees F and want the same temperature in degrees Celcius.

In F = (9/5)C + 32 multiply all three terms by 5:

5F = 9C + 160, which can be solved for C:

5F - 160 = 9C

Let F = 111. Then 555 - 160 = 9C, or

395 = 9C

Dividing both sides by 9, we get C = 395/9 = 43 8/9 degrees C
