The formula C=5/9(F−32) can be used to convert temperature from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F). The highest temperature ever recorded in the United States was 134 ∘F in Death Valley on July 10, 1913. What was the temperature that day in Celsius, rounded to the nearest degree?

57 °C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that is used to convert temperature from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F) is given by :

...(1)

If T = 134° F, we need to convert the temperature in Celsius.

Put F = 134, in equation (1)

So, the temperature on that day is 57 °C.

For each student to receive 5 skittles each, there would have to be a total of 200 skittles in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem with just one operation.  Based on the information given, we know that there are 40 students and they each receive 5 skittles.  To find the total, we would either need to add 5 for a total of 40 times, or we can multiply 40 times 5 to get the total number of skittles.  40 x 5=200, a quick check of the problem shows us that 200/40 = 5, which would be 5 skittles per student.
