Q. Naomi has a formula that allows her to convert Clesius temperatures to Farenheit temperatures. She needs a formula for converting Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius tempertures. What advice can you give her?
I am thinking that I just reverse the preocess of the first conversion to get the second conversion, is that right?
Write conversion formula as an algebraic equation for the Fahrenheit temperature, F.
F = (9/5) C + 32
Then do an algebraic conversion for C in terms of F.
(9/5) C = (F -32)
C = ??
I assume that is what you mean by "reversing the process".
Yes and thank you!
i don't understand that is 9

convert 38.1 to fahrenherit
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula F = (9/5)C + 32, where F represents the Fahrenheit temperature and C represents the Celsius temperature.
To reverse the process and convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can rearrange the formula as follows:
(9/5)C = F - 32
Now, to get C alone on one side of the equation, you need to isolate it. To do that, you can divide both sides of the equation by (9/5):
C = (F - 32) / (9/5)
Simplifying further:
C = (5/9)(F - 32)
Therefore, if you want to convert a Fahrenheit temperature, F, to Celsius, you can use the formula C = (5/9)(F - 32).
Now, to convert 38.1 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, simply substitute the value of C in the formula:
F = (9/5)C + 32
F = (9/5)(38.1) + 32
Calculating this:
F = (9/5)(38.1) + 32
F = (68.58) + 32
F = 100.58
Therefore, 38.1 degrees Celsius is approximately equal to 100.58 degrees Fahrenheit.
