Evaluate c=5/9(f-32)

$c = \frac{5}{9} (f - 32)$

Apply the distributive property.

$c = \frac{5}{9} f + \frac{5}{9} \cdot - 32$

Combine $\frac{5}{9}$ and $f$ .

$c = \frac{5 f}{9} + \frac{5}{9} \cdot - 32$

Multiply $\frac{5}{9} \cdot - 32$ .

Combine $\frac{5}{9}$ and $- 32$ .

$c = \frac{5 f}{9} + \frac{5 \cdot - 32}{9}$

Multiply $5$ by $- 32$ .

$c = \frac{5 f}{9} + \frac{- 160}{9}$

$c = \frac{5 f}{9} + \frac{- 160}{9}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$c = \frac{5 f}{9} - \frac{160}{9}$
