Final answer:
To convert 45°F to Celsius, subtract 32 and then multiply by 5/9, resulting in approximately 7.22, which rounds to 7°C.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and then multiply by 5/9 (or divide by 1.8). Using the given temperature of 45°F, the conversion to Celsius is calculated as follows:
- Subtract 32 from 45, which gives you 13.
- Multiply 13 by 5/9 (or divide by 1.8), which results in approximately 7.22.
When we round this to the nearest degree, we get 7°C. Hence, 45°F is equivalent to 7°C when rounded to the nearest degree.
