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 to convert this temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. What does C(76.1) represent?

the temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius
the temperature of 76.1 degrees Celsius converted to degrees Fahrenheit
the amount of time it takes a temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit to be converted to 32 degrees Celsius
the amount of time it takes a temperature of 76.1 degrees Celsius to be converted to 32 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

Answer:

Okay, this one is going to look like a novel, but I think I've got your answer for you. Part a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) The formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is as follows:

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

Step 1: We take 76.1 and plug it into F

( ( 76.1 - 32 ) * 5 ) / 9 = C

Step 2: Follow PEMDAS: Parenthesis

76.1 - 32 = 44.1

( 44.1 * 5 ) / 9 = C

Step 3: Parenthesis

44.1 * 5 = 220.5

220.5 / 9 = C

Step 4: Divide

220.5 / 9 = 24.5

24.5 = C

76.1 Degrees Fahrenheit coverts to 24.5 Degrees Celsius

Part B) The same formula as Part A just plug 76.1 into C

( ( F - 32 ) * 5 ) / 9 = 76.1

Step 1: Get rid of / 9 by mutiplying

( ( ( F - 32 ) * 5 ) / 9 ) * 9 = 76.1 * 9

/ 9 cancels out. Your equation should now look like:

( F - 32 ) * 5 = 684.9

Step 2: Get rid of * 5 by dividing by 5

( ( F - 32 ) * 5 ) / 5 = 684.9 / 5

* 5 cancels out. Your equation should now look like:

F - 32 = 136.98

Step 3: Get rid of - 32 by adding 32

( F - 32 ) + 32 = 136.98 + 32

- 32 cancels out. Your equation should now look like:

F = 168.98

76.1 Degrees Celsius converts to 168.98 Degrees Fahrenheit.

When it comes to part C and D I feel that there is more information needed to figure these ones out, perhaps you were given another formula for this one? Hopefully this works out for you!
