Answer:

15 Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation used to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is as follows


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

Here for my problem the temperature is
59^(\circ)\text{F}


(59-32)* (5)/(9)


=27* (5)/(9)


=3* 5


=15^(\circ)\text{C}

So,
59^(\circ)\text{F} is equal to
15^(\circ)\text{C}.
