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 C of F = five-ninths (F minus 32) to convert this temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. What does C(76.1) represent?a. the temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius
b. the temperature of 76.1 degrees Celsius converted to degrees Fahrenheit
c. the amount of time it takes a temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit to be converted to 32 degrees Celsius
d. the amount of time it takes a temperature of 76.1 degrees Celsius to be converted to 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

Answer:

a. the temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The function is

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

Where C is the temperature in ºC, and F is the temperature in ºF. So, when we replace F for the temperature, we can calculate this temperature in degrees Celsius; and when we replace C, we calculate the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

In the expression C(76.1), F was replaced by 76.1, so we will calculate the temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius.

Answer 2

Answer: A. the temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius
