Question

EASY MATH!!! The formula F=9/5C+32 is used to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit temperature. A. Solve the formula for C B. The boiling point of water is 212 F What is C?
If a house thermostat was set at 80F what is C? Answer at nearest tenth. DO THIS

Answer 1

$F=\dfrac{9}{5}C+32\\\\A.\\\dfrac{9}{5}C+32=F\ \ \ |-32\\\\\dfrac{9}{5}C=F-32\ \ \ |\cdot\dfrac{5}{9}\\\\C=\dfrac{5}{9}(F-32)$


$B.\\F=212\to C=\dfrac{5}{9}(212-32)=\dfrac{5}{9}\cdot180=100\\\\212^oF=100^oC$


$C.\\F=80\to C=\dfrac{5}{9}(80-32)=\dfrac{5}{9}\cdot48\approx26.7\\\\80^oF\approx26.7^oC$
