Question

The formula for degrees Celsius is: C = 9 over 5 (F - 32), where F stands for degrees Fahrenheit.

Part 1: Solve the formula for F. Show all steps.
Part 2: Determine how many degrees Fahrenheit 8 degrees Celsius is.

Answer 1

\[C=\frac{9}{5}(F-32) \rightarrow \frac{5}{9}C=F-32 \rightarrow \frac{5}{9}C+32=F\]Given the equation you now have, \[8 \times \frac{5}{9} + 32 = 36.44\] So 8°C is equal to 36.44°F
