Question: The formula for the temperature in Fahrenheit (F) in terms of the temperature in Celsius (C) is:
F = 9C/5 + 32
What is the formula for the temperature in Celsius in terms of the temperature in Fahrenheit?
Answer: C = 5/9(F – 32)
Solution: First, we subtract 32 from both sides and get F – 32 = 9C ÷ 5. Next, we multiply each side by 5 and get 5(F – 32) = 9C. After that, we divide each side by 9 and get 5/9(F – 32) = C. Finally, we flip it around and get C = 5/9(F – 32).
