Question

The low temperature last week was 13 Fahrenheit (F). What was the low temperature last week in degrees Celsius (C)? [C =59(F 32)]

Answer 1

Answer:

The low temperature last week was of -10ºC.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between temperatures in celsius(C) and Fahrenheit(F) is given by the following equation:

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

Here, we have that $F = 13$, and we want to find C. So

$13 = \frac{9C}{5} + 32$

$\frac{9C}{5} = -19$

$9C = -90$

$C = - \frac{90}{9}$

$C = -10$

The low temperature last week was of -10ºC.
