Question

The relationship between the temperature expressed in the degree Fahrenheit a (F) and degree Celsius (c) is given by the formula F=9/5C+32. If the temperature is 5 degrees Fahrenheit, what is in the degree Celsius?

Answer 1

Answer:

-15 degrees Celsius.

Explanation:

The relationship between the temperature expressed in the degree Fahrenheit a (F) and degree Celsius is given below:

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

If the temperature is 5 degrees Fahrenheit, we have that:

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

We then solve for C.

$\begin{gathered} 5-32=\frac{9C}{5}+32-32 \\ \frac{9C}{5}=-27 \\ 9C=-27\times5 \\ C=\frac{-27\times5}{9} \\ C=-15 \end{gathered}$

The temperature in degree Celsius will be -15.
