High School

On his first day of school, Kareem found the high temperature to be 76.1°F. He plans to use the function [tex]C(F) = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)[/tex] to convert this temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius.

What does [tex]C(76.1)[/tex] represent?

A. The temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius.
B. The temperature of 76.1 degrees Celsius converted to degrees Fahrenheit.
C. The amount of time it takes for a temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit to be converted to 32 degrees Celsius.
D. The amount of time it takes for a temperature of 76.1 degrees Celsius to be converted to 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer :

Answer: A. the temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius

Answer:

a. the temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius

Explanation:

The function is

C(F) = [tex]\frac{5}{9} (F -32)[/tex]

Where C is the temperature in ºC, and F is the temperature in ºF. So, when we replace F for the temperature, we can calculate this temperature in degrees Celsius; and when we replace C, we calculate the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

In the expression C(76.1), F was replaced by 76.1, so we will calculate the temperature of 76.1 degrees Fahrenheit converted to degrees Celsius.
