water boils at 212 ° f or 100 ° c and ice melts at 32 ° f or 0 ° c . if the temperature of a pot of water is 55 ° c , what is the temperature of the pot of water in ° f ?
"let f and c denote the temperature in fahrenheit and celsius respectively . ( f - 32 ) / ( 212 - 32 ) = ( c - 0 ) / ( 100 - 0 ) f = 9 c / 5 + 32 f = 9 ( 55 ) / 5 + 32 = 131 ° f the answer is c ."
add(multiply(divide(subtract(212, 32), 100), 55), 32)
