Question 13 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
On his first day of school, Kareem found the high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to be 76.1 degrees He plans to use the function C of F is equal to 5 ninths times F minus 32 to convert this temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. What does C of 76 point 1 represent?
Answer
A
the temperature of 76 point 1 degrees Celsius converted to degrees Fahrenheit
B
the amount of time it takes a temperature of 76 point 1 degrees Fahrenheit to be converted to 32 degrees Celsius
C
the amount of time it takes a temperature of 76 point 1 degrees Celsius to be converted to 32 degrees Fahrenheit
D
the temperature of 76 point 1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius
Explanation
The function C(F) takes a temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit and gives the equivalent temperature in degrees Celsius. Therefore, C(76.1) represents 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius. The other choices describe a reverse conversion or an amount of time, neither of which the function measures.
