Working with Formulas

Question 8 • TX-College Prep Math A

Evaluate the formula for degrees Celsius to solve the problem. Then check all that apply.

Answer
A
First, write down the formula.
B
Next, substitute 68 for the variable F.
C
Now, use the order of operations to simplify.
D
Do the subtraction first.
E
Do the multiplication first.
F
68°F is 20°C.
G
68°F is 5.7°C.

Explanation

Use the Celsius conversion formula C = (5/9)(F − 32). Substitute 68 for F, then follow the order of operations by subtracting first: 68 − 32 = 36. Multiply 36 by 5/9 to get 20, so 68°F is 20°C; multiplying before the subtraction would not follow the formula’s parentheses.
