question 358

Multiple Choice

Use these equations to convert between the two systems. $$C = \frac { 5 } { 9 } ( F - 32 ) \quad F = \frac { 9 } { 5 } C + 32$$ Round answer to the nearest tenth of a degree if necessary.

• A) \(\mathrm { C } = - 15 ^ { \circ }\)
• B) \(C = - 0.8 ^ { \circ }\)
• C) \(C = 20.6 ^ { \circ }\)
• D) \(\mathrm { C } = - 48.6 ^ { \circ }\)
