Answer

a. $t_{C}$ = $20^{0}$C b. $t_{C}$ = $-31^{0}$C c. $t_{F}$ = $79^{0}$F d. $t_{F}$ = $-114^{0}$F

Work Step by Step

a. We can convert temperature in Fahrenheit into Celsius, by applying the formula: $t_{C}$ = $\frac{5^{0}C}{9^{0}F}$ x ($t_{F}$-$32^{0}$F) We know $t_{F}$ = $68^{0}$F , so we can write: $t_{C}$ = $\frac{5^{0}C}{9^{0}F}$ x ($68^{0}$F-$32^{0}$F) $t_{C}$ = $\frac{5^{0}C}{9^{0}F}$ x$36^{0}$F $t_{C}$ = $20.0^{0}$C $t_{C}$ = $20^{0}$C b. Apply the formula: $t_{C}$ = $\frac{5^{0}C}{9^{0}F}$ x ($t_{F}$-$32^{0}$F) We know $t_{F}$ = $-23^{0}$F , so we can write: $t_{C}$ = $\frac{5^{0}C}{9^{0}F}$ x ($-23^{0}$F-$32^{0}$F) $t_{C}$ = $\frac{5^{0}C}{9^{0}F}$ x($-55^{0}$)F $t_{C}$ = $-30.56^{0}$C $t_{C}$ = $-31^{0}$C c. Apply the formula to convert Ceslius to Fahrenheit: $t_{F}$ =($t_{C}$ x$\frac{9^{0}F}{5^{0}C}$) +$32^{0}$F We know $t_{C}$ = $26^{0}$C, so : $t_{F}$ =($26^{0}$C x$\frac{9^{0}F}{5^{0}C}$) +$32^{0}$F $t_{F}$ = $46.8^{0}$F+$32^{0}$F $t_{F}$ = $78.8^{0}$F $t_{F}$ = $79^{0}$F d. Apply the formula to convert Ceslius to Fahrenheit: $t_{F}$ =($t_{C}$ x$\frac{9^{0}F}{5^{0}C}$) +$32^{0}$F We know $t_{C}$ = $-81^{0}$C, so : $t_{F}$ =($-81^{0}$C x$\frac{9^{0}F}{5^{0}C}$) +$32^{0}$F $t_{F}$ = $-145.8^{0}$F+$32^{0}$F $t_{F}$ = $-113.8^{0}$F $t_{F}$ = $-114^{0}$F
