tim says -40°f is equal to -40°c. explain why this is true.
Let C = degrees Celsius and F = degrees Fahrenheit
\(C = (F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}\\\\\)
\(= (-40 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}\\\\\)
\(= (-72) \times \frac{5}{9}\\\\\)
\(= -\frac{360}{9} \\\\\)
\(= -40\)
\(^{\circ}C=(^{\circ}F-32)\cdot\dfrac{5}{9}\\\\ ^{\circ}C=(-40-32)\cdot\dfrac{5}{9}\\ ^{\circ}C=-72\cdot\dfrac{5}{9}\\ ^{\circ}C=-8\cdot5\\ ^{\circ}C=-40\)
