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 6 degrees Celsius is

Answer 1

Isolate F the same way C is isolated above.

\[C = \frac{ 9 }{ 5 } (F - 32)\]\[\frac{ 5 }{ 9 }C = F- 32\]\[F = 32 + \frac{ 5 }{9 }C\]

for part 2, plug C = 6 to find F
