Question

The equation below shows the relationship between the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, and degrees Fahrenheit, F:

C = 5 over 9(F − 32)

Which of the following formulas correctly solves for F?
f=9/5 c+32
f=9/5 c−32
f=9c + 32/5
f = 9c − 32/5

Answer 1

So is it 5
--------
9(F - 32)

Or

5
------ (F - 32)
9

??

Answer 2

Second one

Answer 3

So if we wanna get F by its self, we have to do opposite operations.

First things first, how would you distribute the 5/9?

Answer 4

$$\Huge C=\dfrac{5}{9}(F-32)$$

$$\Huge \dfrac{9}{5}C=F-32$$

$$\Huge \dfrac{9}{5}C+32=F$$
