Question 76455: Science and medicine. Celsius temperature readings can be converted to Fahrenheit readings using the formula F=9/5C + 32. What is the Fahrenheit temperature that corresponds to each of the following Celsius temperatures: -10, 0, 15, 100?
Please help me I have try to solve this problem but cannot seem to get it.
Thanks,
Peggy

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
F+=+%289%2F5%29C%2B32
Calculate F for C = -10, 0, 15, 100
Just substitute the given numbers for C in the formula and solve for F.
C = -10
F+=+%289%2F5%29%28-10%29%2B32
F+=+%289%29%28-2%29%2B32
F+=+-18%2B32
F+=+14
So, If C = -10 then F = 14.
C = 0
F+=+%289%2F5%29%280%29%2B32
F+=+0%2B32
F+=+32
So, if C = 0 then F = 32
Now do exactly the same for C = 15 and for C = 100
