Question

Frame the formula for the following statement: The Fahrenheit temperature $F$, is $50$ less than eight-seventh of the Centigrade temperature C.

• A. $F=50+\frac{8}{7}C$
• B. $F=50-\frac{6}{7}C$
• C. $F=50+\frac{87}{7}C$
• D. $F=\frac{8}{7}C-50$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $F=\frac{8}{7}C-50$

Given that Fahrenheit temperature $F$, is $50$ less than eight-seventh of the Centigrade, the formula is
$F=\frac{8}{7}C-50$

So, option D is correct.
