Question

On a fine spring day you notice that the temperature is 68°F. What is the corresponding temperature on the Celsius scale? (step by step pls!)

Answer 1

20º C

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

C = 5/9 • (F - 32)

Plugging 68º for F we get:

C = 5/9 •(68º-32)

C = 5/9 •(36)

C = 20º

Answer 2

20°C

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between temperature in degrees Fahrenheit(F) and degrees Centigrade (C) is

C = (F - 32) x 5/9

Given F = 68°F

C = (68-32) x 5/9

= 36 x 5/9
= 36/9 x 5

= 4 x 5

= 20°C
