Question

The formula for converting Celsius temperature, C, to Fahrenheit temperature, F, is F= 9/5C + 32. If Fahrenheit temperature ranges from 50° to 122°, inclusive, what is the range for the Celsius temperature?

a. (122°C, 252°C)

b. [10°C, 50°C]

c. [122°C, 252°C]

d. (10°C, 50°C)

Answer 1

Katie, you're given the formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Rearrange the formula to give C in terms of F: C = 5/9 (F - 32)

To get the answer, just plug the given range for F in the above equation.
