Answer» Given : Temperature in degree Fahrenheit = 50°F To find : Temperature in degree Celsius Formula : °F = \(\frac{9}{5}\)(°C) + 32 Calculation : Substituting 50°F in the formula, °F = \(\frac{9}{5}\)(°C) + 32 50 = \(\frac{9}{5}\)(°C) + 32 °C = \(\frac{(50-32)\times 5}{9}\) = 10°C ii. Given : Temperature in degree Fahrenheit = 10°F To find : Temperature in degree Celsius Formula : °F = \(\frac{9}{5}\)(°C) + 32 Calculation : Substituting 10°F in the formula, °F = \(\frac{9}{5}\)(°C) + 32 10 = \(\frac{9}{5}\)(°C) + 32 °C = \(\frac{(10-32)\times 5}{9}\) = -12.2°C ∴ i. The temperature 50°F corresponds to 10°C. ii. The temperature 10°F corresponds to -12.2°C. |
