Answer:

Step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark simplified 3/5 + 5/8 using the steps below:

Step 1: 3/5 * 8/5

Step 2: 3 * 8 / 5 * 5

Step 3: 24/5

Step 4: 4 4/5

Mark's error is in Step 1 where he changed the addition sign to multiplication sign.

The correct solution is:

Step 1: \dfrac{3}{5}+ \dfrac{5}{8}\\Step 2:  \dfrac{24+25}{40}\\Step 3:  \dfrac{49}{40}\\Step 4: 1\dfrac{9}{40}

A) you must plug in 50 for variable F and solve for C

C=\frac{5}{9}(50-32)
C=\frac{5}{9}(18)
C= 10
50 degrees fahrenheit is equal to 10 degrees celsius 

B) you must solve the equation for F

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

dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying buy its reciprocal so it can also be written as

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

now you just plug in 50 for the variable C in the new equation

F= \frac{9}{5}(50) +32
F= 90 + 32
F= 122

50 degrees celsius is equal to 122 degrees fahrenheit

hope this helped!
