Answer: B.
C=(5)/(9)(F-32)

Explanation:

The given formula :
F=(9)/(5)C+32

To convert this formula in terms of C , we first Subtract 32 on both sides , we get


F-32=(9)/(5)C

Now multiply 5 on both the sides , we get


5(F-32)=9C

Divide both sides by 9 we get


(5)/(9)(F-32)=C

OR


C=(5)/(9)(F-32)

Therefore , the formula gives the conversion from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius will be :-


C=(5)/(9)(F-32)

Hence, the correct answer : B.
C=(5)/(9)(F-32)
