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

F = 9 over 5C + 32

Which of the following formulas correctly solves for C?

C = 5F - 32 over 9

C = 5 F over 9 - 32

C = 9 over 5(F – 32)

C = 5 over 9(F – 32)

Respuesta :

F = 9/5C + 32...subtract 32 from both sides
F - 32 = 9/5C...multiply both sides by 5/9, eliminating the 9/5 on right
5/9(F - 32) = C <==

Answer:

C = 5 over 9(F – 32)


Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is [tex]F=(\frac{9}{5}C)+32[/tex]

We can do some algebra to solve for C (note the steps below):

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


Last answer choice is right.
