Question

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

F = 9 over 5 C + 32

Which of the following formulas correctly solves for C? (1 point)

C = 5F − 32 over 9
C = 5 over 9 (F − 32)
C = 9 over 5 (F − 32)
C = 5 F over 9 − 32

Answer 1

\[F = \frac{ 9 }{ 5 }C + 32\] We have to find the formula for C.

Subtract 32 from both sides.
F - 32 = \[\frac{ 9 }{ 5 }C\]

Multiply 5 on both sides as well and we'll get
\[5(F-32) = 32\]

Divide both sides by 9 and we get this.

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

So your answer is \[\frac{ 5(F-32)=32 }{ 9 }\]

Answer 2

AKA option A

on the right side you forgot the C

ATTENTION @Razor

Answer 4

there is C not 32

Answer 5

Oops my bad. -

Answer 6

please correct these calcules

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

Better?

I did it again - ignore the 32 on the right. I'm tired.
