Question

Convert 42 degrees F to Celsius

Answer 1

5.56 Celsius

Step-by-step explanation

To convert temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by 0.55556 (or 5/9)

then

Step 1

subtract 32

`\begin{gathered} \text{temp}_(deg)=42 \\ \text{temp}_(C1)=42-32 \\ \text{temp}_(C1)=10 \end{gathered}`

Step 2

multiply by 5/9

`\begin{gathered} \text{temp}_C=temp_(c1)\cdot(5)/(9) \\ \text{temp}_C=10\cdot(5)/(9) \\ \text{temp}_C=(50)/(9)=5.56 \end{gathered}`

I hope this helps you
