Question

Paige traveled to Australia and is making her favorite bread recipe. She usually bakes the bread in a 350∘Foven. She is surprised to learn that the oven temperatures in Australia are measured in degrees Celsius. In the formula C=5(F−32)9,F stands for Fahrenheit and C stands for Celsius. Use the formula and the order of operations to help Paige determine how she should set the oven in degrees Celsius.

Answer 1

Answer:

$C =\frac{5}{9} (350-32) =176.67 C$

So then the 350 F degrees are equivalent to 176.67 C degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we are assuming that the temperature of interest is 350 F.

And we want to convert this into Celsius degrees. The formula provided is:

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

This formula comes from this expression:

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

And solving for C we got:

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

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

And replacing we got:

$C =\frac{5}{9} (350-32) =176.67 C$

So then the 350 F degrees are equivalent to 176.67 C degrees
