4

50°F is how many °C?

72% Answer Correctly

10

-10

122

58


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (50 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (18)\)

\(C° = {90 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 10\)


5

Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?

32°F

0°F

273K


Solution

The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
