celsius fahrenheit help?

Question

i need help with fahrenheit to celsius

i have the formula

F = 9/5c + 32

so i will try one if a am wrong tell me how and why

47^oF

47 9 423
1 5 5

423 divided by 5 = 84.6

84.6 + 32 = 116.6^oC

I think i am wrong so tell me how

sorry about the fives

all i needed is for you to say i got the equation wrong thax i was a little confused let me try this one

47^oC

9 47 423
5 1 5

423 divided by 5 = 84.6

84.6 + 32 = 116.6^oF

fleur person I NEED THE REAL thing.
degrees are important

I SCREWED UP A LITTLE FOUND THE PROBLEM TRIED TO REMEDY IT DID IT WORK.

LOOK UP A LITTLE DID IT WORK

caps for effect and sight not anger

Answer 1

Hi !

Please forget about those freakish formulas... There is a very easy way to deal with the Celsius/Fahrenheit thingy, and here it is :-)

First, consider that each Celsius degree is equal to 1.8 degree F, and then consider that 32°F is equal to 0°C

So, 10°C is: 18+32= 50°F

16°C is: 28.8+32= 60.8°F

Let's say we have 72°F, so: 72-32=40 and 40/1.8= 22.22°C

Easy !!!

Answer 2

remember 9/5 and 32 and you can always easily derive the proper equation if you remember that 100c = 212f, the boiling point of water at sea level. Try the equation which I dont remember but I can derive it in about a minute. If f=9/5c + 32 then you know that 212=9/5 * 100 + 32.= 900/5 + 32 = 180 + 32 which is 212 and proves that the formula is correct.

Answer 3

Ummm...yeah-good luck with that. I tried to look it up on my handy dandy conversion scale, but I can't figure out from your question which is which, so I can't even tell you if you are right or wrong. 0 degrees celsius = 32 degrees farenheit, right? and 5 degrees celsius is 40.5. So 10 is 50, 15 is 59.5. So if you add 9.5 for every 5 degrees celcius,so, c+5= f+9.5
Ow, I hurt myself and it's all your fault. But still, I feel good for having tried. Good luck!

Answer 4

47 degrees F should be 8.3 degrees C

you have the equation wrong. if your trying to find degrees C the equation should be:

o^C = 5/9*(o^F -32)

so

o^C = 5/9*(47 -32)
o^C = 5/9*15
o^C = 8.3

Answer 5

If you are converting Fahrenheit to Celsius, you need to rearrange your formula to isolate C. Your converted formula should be: (F-32)*5/9=C. Try that and see if it equals 8.33C.
