Question

For one month Siera calculated her home town’s average high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. She wants to convert that temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius using the function . What does C(F) represent?

Answer 1

We have to find how can someone convert the temperature from degrees Farhenheit to degrees Celsius using the function. The temperature in degrees Celsius is equal to the temperature in degrees Farhenheit minus 32 times 5/9. Or C ( F ) = ( F - 32 ) * 5/9. For example: the temperature is F = 50°; C ( 50 ) = ( 50 - 32 ) * 5/9 = 18 * 5/ 9 = 10 °C. Answer: The function is: C ( F ) = ( F - 32 ) * 5/9.
