Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2018 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

If F = \(\frac{9}{5}\)C + 32, find C when F = 98.6

Answer Details
The given equation relates the temperature in degrees Celsius (C) to the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F). To find C when F = 98.6, we can simply substitute F = 98.6 into the equation and solve for C. So, we have: F = \(\frac{9}{5}\)C + 32 98.6 = \(\frac{9}{5}\)C + 32 (substituting F = 98.6) Subtracting 32 from both sides, we get: 66.6 = \(\frac{9}{5}\)C Multiplying both sides by 5/9, we get: C ≈ 37 Therefore, C is approximately equal to 37 degrees Celsius (not exactly any of the options provided).
