Yon was visiting the United States and he saw that the temperature in Seattle was 41° Fahrenheit. Solve for C in the formula
F =
C + 32
to find the temperature in Celsius.
F = (9/5) ( C ) + 32 subtract 32 from both sides
F - 32 = (9/5) C multiply both sides by (5/9)
(5/9) [ F - 32 ] = C
(5/9) [ 41 - 32 ] = C
(5/9) (9) = C
5° = C
