Question 117578

a. what is the Celsius equivalent of {{{32}}} degrees Fahrenheit?

{{{c=(5/9) (f-32)}}}

{{{f=32}}} degrees, then the Celsius equivalent is:

{{{c=(5/9) (32-32)}}}
	
{{{c=(5/9) (0)}}}

{{{c=0}}} degrees

b. what is the Celsius equivalent of {{{212}}} degrees Fahrenheit?

{{{c=(5/9) (f-32)}}}

{{{f=212}}} degrees, then the Celsius equivalent is:

{{{c=(5/9) (212-32)}}}
	
{{{c=(5/9) (180)}}}
	
{{{c=5 *(180)/9}}}

{{{c= 900/9}}}

{{{c= 100}}} degrees




c. what is the Celsius equivalent of {{{-40}}} degrees Fahrenheit?


{{{c=(5/9) (f-32)}}}

{{{f= -40}}} degrees, then the Celsius equivalent is:

{{{c=(5/9 )(-40-32)}}}
	
{{{c=(5/9) (-72)}}}
	
{{{c=5 *(-72)/9}}}

{{{c= -360/9}}}

{{{c= -40}}} degrees


I  noticed that both the Fahrenheit and Celsius are same.
