Question 66626: Celsius temperature readings can be converted to
Fahrenheit readings using the formula F = 9/5 C + 32

What is the Fahrenheit temperature that corresponds to each of the following Celsius temperatures-10, 0, 15, 100?

Find the Farenheit temperature that corresponds to the Celsius temperatures of:
-10C
0C
15C
100C
Using the conversion formula:
F+=+%289%2F5%29C%2B32
Just substitute the given values of the Celsius temperatures for C in the formula and solve for the Farenheit temperature, F.
-10C
F+=+%289%2F5%29%28-10%29%2B32 Simplify.
F+=+9%28-2%29%2B32
F+=+-18%2B32
F+=+14
-10C+=+14F
0C
F+=+%289%2F5%29%280%29%2B32
F+=+0%2B32
F+=+32
0C+=+32F
You should have the idea by now. See if you can do the remaining problems. If you get stuck, re-post.
