Answer:
It will read the same at F = -40.
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between fahrenheit and celsius is given by the following equation:
[tex]C = \frac{5(F-32)}{9}[/tex]
At what temperature will a Fahrenheit thermometer read the same as a Celsius thermometer?
This is F for C = F. So
[tex]C = \frac{5(F-32)}{9}[/tex]
[tex]F = \frac{5(F-32)}{9}[/tex]
[tex]9F = 5F - 160[/tex]
[tex]4F = -160[/tex]
[tex]F = -\frac{160}{4}[/tex]
[tex]F = -40[/tex]
It will read the same at F = -40.
