Explain why temperature conversion using mental math works

Mathematics

svp [43]3 years ago

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

How do you decide which variable to isolate in order to use the substitution method to solve a system of linear equation?​
Kazeer [188]
It doesn’t really matter which variable you isolate first but usually you would use the one that’s by itself already. like for example one of the equations was y = 8. you would already have your y solve for so you would just have to plug that in for y in the other equation. personally, i usually do x first unless one of the equations has either x or y by itself already. i think its easier to just do x first and then solve for y after that, but it just depends on what the equations are; sometimes it might be easier to just do y first. hope this helps!
