Question

Water freezes at 32 F or 0 C. Use temperature conversion formulas to show that these two measures are indeed the same temperature.

Answer 1

@godgavemeyou @Hope_nicole and anyone else that can help :)

Answer 2

look up a temp conversion formula

Answer 3

It's given that water freezes at 0 C or 32 F We know that temp in Fahrenheit (F) is related to temp in Celsius(C) by this relation
F=95×C+32
Here C=0, so
F=0+32=32
So the two temperatures are the same

Answer 4

@Hope_nicole I tried looking it up, couldn't find one. or one I understand. lol i'm not good at math at all.

@godgavemeyou Thanks... Could you dummer it down please? Im really dum when it comes to math.

Answer 5

she gave you the equation.
F=95*C+32.
that is the conversion from celcius to Farenheit.

Answer 6

i developed the conversion formulas when i was a kid .... then i learned about them later.

we have 2 points to create a linear relationship with

C F C F
(0,32) and (100,212)

using the 2 points we can form a slope:

212-32
------- = 180/100 = 18/10 = 9/5
100 - 0

pluging this slope and a known point into the point slope form of a line we get:

F-32 = 9/5 (C-0)

F = 9/5 C + 32 , which we can solve for C as well

C = 5/9 (F - 32)

Answer 7

@Hope_nicole Thank you, sorry for the trouble. I am realllllyyyy stupid when it comes to math. -_- lol

Answer 8

@amistre64 Thank you. but I already got an answer that i understand.

Answer 9

thats ok :)

Answer 10

Could you help me with one more question ?? @amistre64

Answer 11

maybe, ive only got so many smarts about me in a day ... i might be running low :)

Answer 12

lol
