Question

3) A fahrenheit thermometer shaded from the sun on a hot day reads 101⁰ what is the temperature on the centigrade scale?

​

Answer 1

38.33°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

180/100 = (F-32)/C............. Equation 1

Where F = Temperature of the hot day in fehrenheit, C = Temperature of the hot day in centigrade.

make C the subject of the equation

C = 100(F-32)/180.............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 101°F

Substitute into equation 2

C = 100(101-32)/180

C = 38.33°C
