Question

Celsius temperature. If the air temperature in Quebec is 68 degree Fahrenheit, then the solution to the equation 9/5 C + 32 = 68 gives the Celsius temperature of the air. Find the Celsius temperature.

Answer 1

so

Step 1:  68 - 32 = 36

Step 2: 36 / 9 = 4

Step 3: 4 * 5 = 20 Celsius, the ideal temperature.

Exercise: if the body temp. is 98.2 F what is it in Celsius?

Answer 2

It would be 20 degrees.

Subtract 32 from 68 and then divide by (9/5) or 0.555 (They're both the same) and you get 20 degrees Celsius.
