-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\({40 \over 9}\)

\(-{40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8


Solution

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

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

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

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)

Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?

64% Answer Correctly

medulla

cerebellum

cerebrum

spinal cord


Solution

83% Answer Correctly

period

amplitude

volume

frequency


Solution

The rate of vibration of sound is called frequency and is measured in hertz (Hz). One hertz is one repetition per second and sounds with high frequency have a higher pitch than sounds with lower frequency. Humans can hear sounds in the range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
