Question

Convert degrees Fahrenheit (F) into degrees Celsius (C) using the formula C = 5/9(F - 32). Rewrite the equation to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 1

To answer the question above, isolate F on the other side of the equation by multiplying both sides by 9/5. This gives, 
                           (9/5) C = F - 32
Next, transpose -32 to left side. 
                            (9/5)C + 32 = F
Rearrange the equation to give an answer of
                              F = (9/5)C + 32
