Question

Make an equation to convert the temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit. 0𝑜𝑜 Celsius corresponds to 32𝑜𝑜 F, and 100𝑜𝑜 C corresponds to 212𝑜𝑜 F. Write an equation that passes through the points (0, 32) and (100, 212). Then use this equation to find the Celsius temperature at 70𝑜𝑜F.

Answer 1

F = (9/5)C + 32

C = (5/9)F -160/9

C= (5/9)70 -160/9 = (350-160)/9 = 21 1/9 degrees Celsius
