To solve the equation F = 9/5 C + 32 for C, we need to isolate C on one side of the equation.
Subtract 32 from both sides:
F - 32 = 9/5 C
Next, multiply both sides by 5/9 to isolate C:
(5/9)(F - 32) = C
Simplifying the right side:
C = (5/9)(F - 32)
Now we can substitute 70 degrees Fahrenheit for F to find the corresponding Celsius temperature:
C = (5/9)(70 - 32)
C = (5/9)(38)
C = 190/9
C ≈ 21.11
Therefore, 70 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately equivalent to 21.11 degrees Celsius.
The relationship between degrees Celsius (C) and degrees Fahrenheit (F) is modeled by the linear equation
F=9/5 C+32
Solve this equation for C. (Show all steps.)
Find the Celsius temperature that corresponds to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
