Question:
On a winter day the temperature at a place in Himachal Pradesh was –16°C. Convert it in degree Fahrenheit (oF) by using the formula.
(C/5) = (F – 32)/9
Solution:
Given, a winter day the temperature at a place in Himachal Pradesh was –16°C.
Formula, (C/5) = (F – 32)/9
Where, C = -16o
Then,
(-16o/5) = (F – 32)/9
(-16o/5) × 9 = F -32
(-144/5) = F – 32
F = 32 – (144/5)
F = (160 – 144)/5
F = 16/5
F = 3.2 oF
