Celsius temperature readings can be converted to Fahrenheit readings using formula F=9/5c+32 What is the fahrenheit temp. that corresponds to each of the following Celsius temperatures -10, 0, 15, 1000?
I will be happy to critique your work on this.
You have the formula, just substitute the value of Celsius for c in your formula and do the arithmetic. Here's an example
We have F = 9/5C + 32
Suppose we're told the Celsius temperature is 12 and we're asked to find the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature. We would substitute 12 for C to get
F = (9/5)*12 + 32 We use 12 for C and evaluate to get
F = 53.6
Now do the same process with the four vaues you've been asked to convert to Fahrenheit.
Sure! Let's apply the formula F = (9/5)C + 32 to each of the given Celsius temperatures.
For -10 degrees Celsius:
F = (9/5)(-10) + 32
F = -18 + 32
F = 14
So -10 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
For 0 degrees Celsius:
F = (9/5)(0) + 32
F = 0 + 32
F = 32
So 0 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
For 15 degrees Celsius:
F = (9/5)(15) + 32
F = 27 + 32
F = 59
So 15 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 59 degrees Fahrenheit.
For 1000 degrees Celsius:
F = (9/5)(1000) + 32
F = 1800 + 32
F = 1832
So 1000 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 1832 degrees Fahrenheit.
I hope this helps clarify the conversions! Let me know if you have any further questions.
