Two scientists are measuring lava temperatures. One scientist records a temperature of 1725°F. The other scientist records a temperature of 950°C. Which is the greater temperature? (Use C = 5 - 9 (F - 32).)

Scientist 2 with 950°C is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 5/9 (F - 32)

Scientist 1:

1725 F

= (5/9) (1725 - 32)

= (5/9) (1693)

=940.56 °C

Scientist 2 : 950°C

Comparing the 2 numbers in Celsius, scientist 2 has the greater temperature.
