Question

use the formula f = \frac{9}{5}c + 32 to convert - 50°c to degrees fahrenheit. the temperature is \square°f. (type an integer or a fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the value of \(C\) into the formula

Given \(C=- 50\), substitute into \(F=\frac{9}{5}C + 32\). So \(F=\frac{9}{5}\times(-50)+32\).

Step2: Calculate \(\frac{9}{5}\times(-50)\)

\(\frac{9}{5}\times(-50)=9\times(-10)=-90\).

Step3: Calculate \(F\)

\(F=-90 + 32=-58\).

Answer:

\(-58\)
