Answer:

39.44 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from °F to °C, we need to use the following equation:


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

Then, replacing F by 103 °F, we get:


\begin{gathered} C=(5)/(9)(103-32) \\ C=(5)/(9)(71) \\ C=39.4444 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the temperature on the Celsius scale is 39.44 °C
