Answer: The boiling point of petrol in Celsius is 95°C.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Temperature in Fahrenheit = 203°

We need to convert this temperature in celsius:

As we know the relationship between "Fahrenheit and Celsius":


C=(5)/(9)(F-32^\circ)\\\\C=(5)/(9)(203^\circ-32^\circ)\\\\C=(5)/(9)* (171^\circ)\\\\C=(855)/(9)\\\\C=95^\circ

Hence, the boiling point of petrol in Celsius is 95°C.

The formula for conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
(F-32)×5/9=C
thus plugging in our value we get:
F=203° F
thus we shall have:
(203-32)×5/9
=95° C
