directions say: c=5/9(f-32) for 212 degrees Fahrenheit. how do i figure this out!?

Just solve this equation for f :
c = 5/9(f-32)
c = 5/9(212-32)
c = 5/9(180)
c = 100

Just plug in 212 for the letter "f"
Celsius= 5/9(212-32)
C=5/9(180)
C=100

Celsius= 5/9(Fahrenheit - 32)
Celsius= 5/9(212 - 32)
Celsius= 5/9 * 180
Celsius= 5 * 20
Celsius= 100
Hope that's clear enough.

To go from F to C we subtract 32, then multiply by 5, then
divide by 9. The formula is a shorthand way to say that.
Taking it step by step, we first, subtract 32 from the F
temperature; 212 - 32 = 180.
Now we multiply the 180 by 5 to get 900.
Divide 900 by 9 and get 100, which is the temperature in °C.

C = 5/9 ( F-32)
C = 5/9 (180)
C= 100

Plug in 212 for f and solve for c.

oh man! but this is so somple! first, you listen to your teacher in school and not sleep in class. second, take your vitamins, especially iron supplement. third, you just substitute the value of 212 to the F in the equation and you'll get the value of C... jeesh!!!
