Can you please explain to me how to calculate Fahrenheit in a word problem. I have looked on the internet but it does not give a full explanation how to resolve a question that involves temperatures? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Freezing temperatures: Celcius = 0, Farenheight = 32
\n" ); document.write( "Boiling temperatures: Celcius = 100, Farenheight = 212
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Generate two Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "C to F:
\n" ); document.write( "slope = (212-32)/(100-0) = 180/100 = 9/5
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "intercept: (0,32)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "F = (9/5)C + 32
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"C\":
\n" ); document.write( "F-32 = (9/5)C
\n" ); document.write( "C = (5/9)(F-32)
\n" ); document.write( "=========================
\n" ); document.write( "Those are the 2 conversion formulas.
\n" ); document.write( "=========================================
