Question

In the metric system of weights and measures, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius (°C) instead of degrees Fahrenheit (°F). To convert between the two systems, we use the equations. C =5/9 (F-32) and F = 9/5C+32. In each exercise, convert to the other system. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a degree if necessary. 50°F

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone in this problem, we're asked to convert the given temperature to its metric degree Celsius or imperial degree Fahrenheit equivalent. Using the following conversion tables. We're given a temperature of 41°F. The conversion formulas were given are CC is equal to 5/9 multiplied by F -32. And F Fahrenheit is equal to 9/5 multiplied by C plus 32. We have four answer choices, option a 4°C Option B 4.5°C, Option C5°C and option D 5.5°C. Now we're given a Fahrenheit value. So we're trying to convert to Celsius. So we're gonna use the first formula. We have the, the Celsius C is equal to five nights Multiplied by F -32. Subsequuting in the Fahrenheit value. We have, we get that this is equal to five nights Multiplied by 41 minus 32. We have five nights multiplied by five whoops, not multiplied by five, multiplied by nine K, 41 minus 32 is equal to nine, 5/9 multiplied by nine, gives us 5°C. And so using the conversion formula, we had we found that 41°F is equal to 5°C which corresponds with answer choice C that's it for this one. Thanks everyone for watching. I hope this video helped.
