C = 5/9 (F - 32) is the equation for finding the Celcius temperature when the Fahrenheit temperature is known. What would solving the equation for F allow you to do?
Find the Fahrenheit temperature when the Celsius temperature is known.
Use the new equation to find temperature on a Kelvin scale.
Find the Celsius temperature when the Fahrenheit temperature is known.
You cannot solve the equation for F because it has a fraction in it.
"You cannot solve the equation for F because it has a fraction in it." ???!!!!
F = 32 + 9*C/5 put Celsius in on the right hand side and get Fahrenheit out on the left hand side.
C = 5/9 (F - 32) is the equation for finding the Celcius temperature when the Fahrenheit temperature is known. What would solving the equation for F allow you to do?
The true answer is the first one: Find the Fahrenheit temperature when the Celsius temperature is known.
This problem follows the standard structure for a multiple choice question, namely
• one answer is correct – the first one
• one answer is almost correct – the third one
• one answer is wrong – the second one
• one answer is ridiculous – the fourth one
