Explain why temperature conversion using mental math works

Mathematics

Answer:

The metric system uses the Celsius scale to measure temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water freezes at 0o Celsius and boils at 100o Celsius which is a difference of 100o. Water freezes at 32o Fahrenheit and boils at 212o Fahrenheit which is a difference of 180o. Therefore each degree on the Celsius scale is equal to 180/100 or 9/5 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.

How to convert Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit

Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5.

Add 32o to adjust for the offset in the Fahrenheit scale.

Example: convert 37o C to Fahrenheit.  

37 * 9/5 = 333/5 = 66.6  

66.6 + 32 = 98.6o F

2(2t+4)=34(24−8t). My math teacher is on crack
hichkok12 [17]
2(2t+4) = 34(24-8t)

4t + 8 = 816 - 272t   (Because of distributive property)

276t + 8 = 816   (Because I added the negative 192 to the other side, due to combine like terms)

276t = 808 (Subtracted 8 from 816)

t = 202/69  (After dividing 808 and 276, the answer is remained in fraction form!)
