212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

-100

0

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

100


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

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

50% Answer Correctly
