khadija · Answer

asic conversion formula: F = 9/5C + 32
Our problem: 2C = F

Substitute F in the first formula with 2C from the second, which gives you:
2C = 9/5C + 32

Subtract 9/5C from both sides, which gives:
2C - 9/5C = 32

Simplify the left side (2C = 10/5C): 10/5C - 9/5C = 32, which equals 1/5C = 32

Multiply 5 to each side, which leaves C = 160

So, 160 degrees Celsius will equal 320 degrees Fahrenheit.

At what temperature is the Fahrenheit scale reading equal to twice that of the Celsius?

C = 5/9(F-32) or (F-32)/1.8

We want C = 2F or F = C/2

So C = (C/2 - 32)/1.8

1.8 C = C/2 - 32

1.3 C = -32

C = -24.6, F = -12.3

-24.6 degrees C = -12.3 degrees F. That’s rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree.

At what temperature the Fahrenheit scale reading equal to half of Celsius scale:

Basic conversion formula: F = 9/5C + 32
Our problem: 2C = F

Substitute F in the first formula with 2C from the second, which gives you:
2C = 9/5C + 32

Subtract 9/5C from both sides, which gives:
2C - 9/5C = 32

Simplify the left side (2C = 10/5C): 10/5C - 9/5C = 32, which equals 1/5C = 32

Multiply 5 to each side, which leaves C = 160

Kushagra Madhukar · Answer

As we know, the formula for interconversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is F = 9/5 C + 32 (a) given, F = 2C hence, 2C = 9/5 C + 32 or, C/5 = 32 or, C = 160 o celsius which in Fahrenheit scale, F = 320 (b) given, F = C/2 hence, C/2 = 9/5 C + 32 or, – 2/5 C = 32 or, C = – 80 o celsius; which in fahrenheit scale is, F = -40 Hope it helps.
