Question

the formula for calculating fahrenheit (f) from celcius (c) can be converted to solve for c: $\frac{5(f - 32)}{9}=c$. if a recipe calls for heat of 167 degrees f, what would the temperature need to be as c? you do not need to include unit labels. only the numerical answer is necessary. review the linked section of the prealgebra textbook for problem help.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute F value

Substitute $F = 167$ into $\frac{5(F - 32)}{9}=C$. So we get $\frac{5(167 - 32)}{9}$.

Step2: Calculate inside parentheses

First calculate $167-32 = 135$. Then the expression becomes $\frac{5\times135}{9}$.

Step3: Calculate multiplication and division

$5\times135 = 675$, and $\frac{675}{9}=75$.

Answer:

75
