Question

To convert temperatures in Fahrenheit to temperatures in Celsius, take the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, subtract 32, then divide the result by 1.8. This gives the temperature in degrees Celsius. Write an equation that shows the conversion process to Celsius using the variables c and f then convert a Celsius temperature of 10 degrees to Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

We will have the following:

*We are given the expression:

$F=C\cdot\frac{9}{5}+32$

*Now, we solve for C:

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

***We convert 10 °C to Fahrenheeit:

$F=(10)\frac{9}{5}+32\Rightarrow F=50$

So 10°C are 50°F.
