Answer:

-15 degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the temperature expressed in the degree Fahrenheit a (F) and degree Celsius is given below:


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

If the temperature is 5 degrees Fahrenheit, we have that:


5=(9C)/(5)+32

We then solve for C.


\begin{gathered} 5-32=(9C)/(5)+32-32 \\ (9C)/(5)=-27 \\ 9C=-27*5 \\ C=(-27*5)/(9) \\ C=-15 \end{gathered}

The temperature in degree Celsius will be -15.
