3

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-40

\({40 \over 9}\)

-8


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


4

62% Answer Correctly

domains

classes

5

Convert 0C° to F°.

72% Answer Correctly

0

32

16

-32


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(0) + 32\)

\(F° = 0 + 32 = 32\)
