Concept use formula for converting degree Fahrenheit to degree celsius


\begin{gathered} ^oC\text{ = }(5)/(9)^{}(^oF\text{ }-\text{ 32 )} \\ ^oC\text{ = }(5)/(9)\text{ ( -3.8 - 32 )} \\ ^oC\text{ = 0.5555556 }*\text{ (- 35.8 )} \\ ^oC\text{ = -19.888} \\ ^oC\text{ = -19.9} \end{gathered}

Final answer = - 19.9
