Question

The formula for degrees Celsius is: C = (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 4 degrees Celsius is.

Answer 1

That is not the correct formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Is that really what your problem says??

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Interesting... very interesting. I'm not really sure how you should answer a question that is badly flawed.

This is sort of like saying, "the formula to convert yards Y to feet F is F = 4 * Y, solve for Y"

Answer 4

Basically, you just have to get to the point where F = something.

So, start by looking at the original equation:

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

Divide both sides by (5/9)

Remember, when dividing fractions, switch the numerator and denominator, and then multiply by that fraction.

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

Then add 32:

C*(9/5) + 32 = F

The 2nd part indicates that you plug a value for C to get the F value:

[(6)*9/5] + 32 = F

10.8 + 32 = F

42.8 = F

Answer 5

Objection: assumes formula not yet admitted into the discussion.

Answer 6

Yes, you do have to get to F= something, but if you start with the wrong formula, you won't get the right answers.

The real right answer is as @anas2000 says... first of all, realize the question is broken, look up the REAL formula, and then solve for F.
