Need help with algebra question
If c= 5/9 (F-32)and F is 77 then what is c the 5/9 reprsents a fraction, I am no good in algebra and need help how to get the answer and the problem, thanks
Subtract 32 from 77 and then multiply by 5/9 (multiply by 5 and divide by 9).
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
first, what is F-32, then multiply it by five, then from that result divide by 9.
77-32 = 45
5/9 * 45 = 225/9 = 25

Sure! I can help you with that algebra question.
The equation you provided is: c = 5/9 (F - 32)
You mentioned that F is 77, so we can substitute F = 77 into the equation:
c = 5/9 (77 - 32)
Now, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
c = 5/9 (45)
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators (top numbers) and the denominators (bottom numbers). So, we have:
c = (5 * 45) / 9
Now, let's calculate the numerator:
c = 225 / 9
To divide a fraction, we multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. In this case, the reciprocal of 9 is 1/9. So, we have:
c = 225 * (1/9)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
c = 225/1 * 1/9
Now, let's simplify the multiplication:
c = 225/9
Finally, to simplify the fraction further, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9:
c = 25/1
Therefore, c is equal to 25.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve the algebra problem!
