Question 1116648: The formula F=n/4+37 relates the number of chirps,n, a cricket makes in 1 minute to the outside temperature, F, in degrees Fahrenheit. How many chirps can you expect a cricket to make in 1 minute when outside temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
My answer was 203 but I know it is wrong.

F=n/4+37
Appears to not be the correct formula.

Formula should be to start, T=50%2B%28n-40%29%2F4
and then steps to 'simplify' might be
T=50%2Bn%2F4-10
T=n%2F4%2B40


From that form, regardless of the formula being T=n%2F4%2B40 or T=n%2F4%2B37, you should have no further trouble solving for n. You already received that help.
