Question

Using a Celsius scale, water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Using a Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. If x represents the temperature in degrees Celsius, which equation can be used to determine y, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

Y= (x(9/5)) + 32; Ex: y=(100(9/5)) + 32 —> 100 x 1.8 (or 9/5) = 180–> 180 + 32= 212 F
