Question

The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:

F = 9 over 5C + 32


Which of the following formulas correctly solves for C?


C = 5F − 32 over 9

C = 5 F over 9 − 32

C = 9 over 5(F − 32)

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)

Answer 1

Answer: Last one is right C = 5 / 9 (F-32)

Step-by-step explanation: Solving C from equation F = (9/5)C + 32 :

1. multiply by 5 you get 5F = 9C + 160 and 5(F-32) = 9C

2. divide by 9 you get (5/9) (F-32) = C
