Answer:

A. How can the equation be used in temperature conversion?

You take the conversion equation C = (5/9) (F - 32) and you replace the F by the value of Fahrenheit degrees...  then solve the calculations to get the degrees in Celsius.

For example, if you have 80°F to convert in °C:

C = (5/9) (80 - 32) = (5/9) (48) = 26.66 °C

B. How can you use the graph to find the body temp in C?

Using the graph will give a very imprecise measure due the scale of the graph.

But you would have to find 98.6 on the axis of X (it represents the °F), then go upwards until you find the line....

Then report that position on the line on the Y-axis (representing the °C) to get your measure.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The linear equation is C=\frac{5}{9}F-\frac{32}{9}

<u>For B:</u> The temperature of normal body in degree Celsius is 37° C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For A:</u>

Linear equations are defined as the equations in which the highest power of a variable is '1'. The general equation for a linear equation is:

y=mx+c

where,

y = Y-coordinate

m = slope of the line

x = X - coordinate

c = intercept on y-axis

For the given equation:

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

The linear equation representation for the given equation is:

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

  • <u>For B:</u>

We are given a value of temperature in degree Fahrenheit. To calculate its value in degree Celsius, we use the equation above.

Putting value of F = 98.6 in above equation, we get:

C=(\frac{5}{9}\times 98.6)-\frac{32}{9}\\\\C=37

Hence, the temperature of normal body in degree Celsius is 37° C.

Which of the following shows 12⁄28 written in prime factored form to help in reducing the fraction to simplest form?
mixas84 [53]
The answer would be 3/7

Explanation:
This question is basically asking for you to simplify 12/28. To do this, we find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of 12 and 28, which is 4. Then, we do 12 / 4 and 28 / 4, which gives us 3 and 7. Therefore, the answer is 3/7.

3. Planet Fitness Club charges $30 per month for a membership. 24-Hour Fitness Club charges $22 per month plus an $80 initial fe
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The number of months after which amount paid to two fitness clubs be the same is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The charge of Mikes fitness center = $30 per month fro membership

The charge of All-Day fitness center= $22 per month fro membership + $80            

                                                              initiation charge

Let The number of months after which amount paid to each club be same = x

So, According to question :

30 x = 22 x + 80

Or, 30 x - 22 x = 80

Or, 8 x = 80

So     x =

∴       x = 10

Hence The number of months after which amount paid to two fitness clubs be the same is 10    Answer
