The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, F, is related to the temperature in degrees Celsius, C, by the equation F=9/5 C+32
1.In the Sahara desert, temperatures often reach 50 degrees Celsius. How many degrees Fahrenheit is this?

2.In parts of Alaska, the temperatures can reach -60 degrees Fahrenheit. How many degrees Celsius is this?

3.There is one temperature where the degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Celsius are the same, so that C=F. Use the expression from the equation, where F is expressed in terms of C, to solve for this temperature.

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
