Given F = 9/5C + 32, the conversion formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius, solve for C


A) C = 5/9(F - 32)

B) C = 9/5(F - 32)

C) C = 9/5 · F/32

D) C = 5/9 · F/32

Respuesta :

Answer: A) [tex]C=\dfrac{5}{9}(F-32)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : [tex]F=\dfrac{9}{5}C+32[/tex] the conversion formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius.

To solve the formula for C , we need to first subtract 32 from both sides , we get

[tex]F-32=\dfrac{9}{5}C+32-32[/tex]

Simplify , we get

[tex]F-32=\dfrac{9}{5}C[/tex]

Now, Multiply both sides with the reciprocal of [tex]\dfrac{9}{5}[/tex] i.e. [tex]\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex] , we get

[tex]\dfrac{5}{9}(F-32)=\dfrac{5}{9}\times\dfrac{9}{5}C[/tex]

Simplify ,

[tex]\dfrac{5}{9}(F-32)=C[/tex]

Hence,  [tex]C=\dfrac{5}{9}(F-32)[/tex]
