Question

Convert 59°F to Celsius, using the formula C = 5/9 (F - 32)

Answer 1

15°C

C = 5/9 (F - 32)

Substitute for 59.

C = 5/9 (59 - 32)

C = 5/9 (27)

Multiply.

C = 5/9 (27)

C=15

15°C

Answer 2

Answer:
`C=15\°C`

Explanation:

To solve this exercise you only need to susbstitute the value of the temperature in Fahrenheit into the formula given in the problem.

Therefore, keeping the above on mind, you obtain that 59°F to Celsius is:

`C=(5)/(9)(F-32)`

Substituting F=59 into the formula you have that:

`C=(5)/(9)(59-32)`

`C=15\°C`
