Question

The expression 5(F-32) divided by 9 yes the Celsius temperature for a Fahrenheit temperature of F degrees C noon Fahrenheit temperature in Centerville was 86° what was the temperature in degrees Celsius

Answer 1

30°C

Explanation:

The following expression can be used to convert Farenheit degrees (°F) to Celsius degrees (°C).

°C = 5 . (°F - 32) / 9

If the temperature in Centerville is 86°F, we can replace this value in the previous expression to find its value in the Celsius scale.

°C = 5 . (°F - 32) / 9

°C = 5 . (86 - 32) / 9

°C = 5 . (54) / 9

°C = 270 / 9

°C = 30°C

Answer 2

Substitute the given information into the formula and do the arithmetic.
5(86 -32)/9 = 5(54/9) = 5(6) = 30

The temperature was 30 °C.
