Please Please Please will somebody help me work out this maths formula And maybe explain it to?

This formula can be used to change temperatures into degrees celsius (C) to temperatures in degrees fahrenheit (F)



F=9/5C+32



Use this formula to find the value of F when



a) C=30 b) C=0 c) C= -40 Please Please will you explain how you did it thankyou xxxPlease Please Please will somebody help me work out this maths formula And maybe explain it to?
The formula shows you how the two are related. As one increases, so does the other but not at the same rate, as in not 1 degree for 1 degree.



So...Fahrenheit is 9 times higher divided by 5 ( 1.8) times the value of Celsius minus 32 degrees ( the difference between freezing points. 32F is 0C)



The go backwards, C=5/9F-32.



A=86, B=32, C= - 40.



A is nothing special but B and C are interesting. If you look at B it is asking what is F when C is 0? From my explanation above, 0C is 32F. And C is interesting but if F increases 1.8 times the rate of C, there must be a point when they are equal, -40.Please Please Please will somebody help me work out this maths formula And maybe explain it to?
I am used to metric system so I do this in my head all the time (approximately):



a) Substitute 30 for C in the formula:



F = 9/5 * 30 + 32



Then use your calculator, or use commutative property of multiplication (I doubt you will needto acctually do this, but maybe it will help understand):



F = 30 * 1/5 * 9 + 32

= 30/5 * 9 + 32

= 6 * 9 + 32

= 54 + 32

= 86



b)



F = 9/5 * 0 + 32

= 0 + 32

= 32



c)



F = 9/5 * (-40) + 32................again, use calculator or

= -40/5 * 9 + 32

= - 8 * 9 + 32

= -72 + 32

= - 40................................ha! the only temperature reading that is the same in C and F



The other answerer got his A (which is a) ) wrong: 30 C is hot (for me).Please Please Please will somebody help me work out this maths formula And maybe explain it to?
Formula SHOULD be shown as :-



F = (9/5) C + 32



a )

F = (9/5) (30) + 32

F = 86



b)

F = 32



c)

F = (9/5)(-40) + 32

F = (-72) + 32

F = - 40
