The formula to convert from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius is C=(F-32)*(5/9). If it is 32 degrees Celsius, what is the temperature in Fahrenheit?

This question involves rearranging the equation to make F, the temperature in Fahrenheit, the subject of the formula. We'll start by writing out the original formula, and then we will move the elements of the equation to make it so F is alone on one side of the equals sign:C=(F-32)*(5/9)9C=(F-32)59C/5=F-32(9C/5)+32=FNext, we'll use the value for the temperature in Celsius given in the question in our rearranged formula:((932)/5)+32=F(288/5)+32=F57.6+32=FF=89.6, so 32 degrees Celsius is equal to 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
