Question

On his first day of school, Kareem found the high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to be 76.1°. He plans to use the function to convert this temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. What does C(76.1) represent?

Answer 1

The function to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is this:

C(°F) = (°F - 32) (5/9)

Or

C(°F) = (°F - 32) / 1.8

Therefore, C(76.1) represents:
C(76.1) = (76.1 - 32) / 1.8
C(°F) = 44.1 / 1.8
CC(°F) = 24.5 °C

So, 76.1 °F is equivalent to 24.5 °C.
