14.4 ° C

Step-by-step explanation

to convert from Farenheit to Celsius we need to use the expression


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

then

Let

F=58

now, replace and evaluate


\begin{gathered} C=(5)/(9)(F-32) \\ C=(5)/(9)(58-32) \\ C=(5)/(9)(26) \\ C=(130)/(9)=14.444 \\ \text{rounded} \\ C=14.4\text{ \degree} \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is

14.4 ° C

I hope this helps you
