To convert degrees from Fahrenheit to Celsius we need to use the following formula:


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

Where C is Celsius and F is Fahrenheit degrees.

In this case, the given temperature in Fahrenheit is:


F=47

We substitute it into the formula to find the result in Celsius:


C=(5(47-32))/(9)

Solving the operations:


\begin{gathered} C=(5(15))/(9) \\ \\ C=(75)/(9) \\ \\ C=8.33 \end{gathered}

Answer: 8.33°C
