On a dry day, the temperature in Boulder (altitude: 5330') is 40F. What is the temperature (in F) on nearby Bear Peak (altitude: 8460') ?

Answer: °C = 4.44°C

Explanation: The centigrade scale and Fahrenheit scale are related by the formulae below

9 * °C = 5 (°F - 32)

Where °C = measurement of temperature in centigrade scale.

°F = measurement of temperature in Fahrenheit scale = 40°F

By substituting the parameters, we have that

9 * °C = 5 (40 - 32)

9 * °C = 5 (8)

9 * °C = 40

°C = 40/9

°C = 4.44°C
