Question

Paige traveled to Australia and is making her favorite bread recipe. She usually bakes the bread in a 350∘Foven. She is surprised to learn that the oven temperatures in Australia are measured in degrees Celsius. In the formula C=5(F−32)9,F stands for Fahrenheit and C stands for Celsius. Use the formula and the order of operations to help Paige determine how she should set the oven in degrees Celsius.

Answer 1

`C =(5)/(9) (350-32) =176.67 C`

So then the 350 F degrees are equivalent to 176.67 C degrees

Explanation:

For this case we are assuming that the temperature of interest is 350 F.

And we want to convert this into Celsius degrees. The formula provided is:

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

This formula comes from this expression:

`F = (9)/(5) C +32`

And solving for C we got:

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

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

And replacing we got:

`C =(5)/(9) (350-32) =176.67 C`

So then the 350 F degrees are equivalent to 176.67 C degrees
