Padma measured the temperature outside to be 32°F. She needs to convert the temperature to degrees Celsius. Evaluate the formula C=5/9 (F-32) to solve the problem.
We are given a value of 32° Fahrenheit, so that is what we plug in to the formula for F.

C = 5/9 ((_)-32)
= 5/9 (_)
= _°C

1 answer

To find the temperature in degrees Celsius from 32°F using the formula \( C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32) \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Substitute 32 for F in the formula: \[ C = \frac{5}{9} (32 - 32) \]

  2. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \[ C = \frac{5}{9} (0) \]

  3. Now multiply: \[ C = 0 \]

So the fill-in-the-blanks would be:

C = 5/9 (32-32)
= 5/9 (0)
= 0°C

Therefore, the final answer is 0°C.
