Question

On a winter day the temperature at a place in Himachal Pradesh was –16°C. Convert it in degree Fahrenheit (°F) by using the formula.

`C/5 = (F - 32)/9`

Answer 1

Given, temperature of Himachal Pradesh = –16°C 

∵ `C/5 = (F - 32)/9`

⇒ `(-16)/5 = (F - 32)/9`

⇒ `F - 32 = -144/5`

⇒ `F = 32 - 144/5`

⇒ `F = (160 - 144)/5`

= `16/5`

= 3.2°F
