Q

At what temperature would the reading on the Fahrenheit scale and the Centigrade scale be identical?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius/Centigrade (C) scales • The conversion formula: C = (5/9) × (F − 32) • A temperature where the numerical value of C and F are the same (C = F)

💭 Think About

• If C and F are identical at some temperature, how can you use the idea C = F in the conversion formula? • Start with the formula C = (5/9)(F − 32). What happens if you replace C with F in that equation? What kind of equation do you get? • Once you solve for F, compare the sign (above or below zero) and the magnitude to the answer choices.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you correctly set C = F before doing any algebra. • Carefully handle the negative sign when solving the equation—watch out for subtracting 32 and dealing with fractions. • After finding the numerical value, double‑check whether it is above or below zero to match it correctly with the listed choices.
