Answer:

Answer is equation C

Explanation:

They are converting Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit temperature.

F = 1.8C + 32

F = 1.8(0) + 32 = 32 Fahrenheit

F = 1.8(30) + 32 = 86 Fahrenheit

F = 1.8(100) + 32 = 212 Fahrenheit

Answer:

C) F = 1.8C + 32

Explanation:

Hello! The easiest way to do this is to substitute the numbers from your table into your possible answer choices until you find numbers that make a true/correct statement.

For A:

F = 32C + 1.8 <== substitute any number for F and C from your table

32 = 32(0) + 1.8 <== multiply

32 = 0 + 1.8 <== add

32 = 1.8

This statement is false/incorrect

For B:

C = 1.8F + 32 <== substitute any number for F and C from your table

0 = 1.8(32) + 32 <== multiply

0 = 57.6 + 32

0 = 89.6

This statement is false/incorrect

For C:

F = 1.8C + 32 <== substitute any number for F and C from your table

32 = 1.8(0) + 32 <== multiply

32 = 0 + 32 <== add

32 = 32

This statement is true/correct

For D:

C = 32F + 1.8 <== substitute any number for F and C from your table

0 = 32(32) + 1.8 <== multiply

0 = 1024 + 1.8 <== add

0 = 1025.8

This statement is false/incorrect

As we can see, the only equation that makes a true statement is C.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Hope this helps!
