Answer: 15 Degrees Celsius.

Explanation:


1. If you want to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, do the opposite: subtract 30 from the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and then divide by 2 to get the temperature in degrees Celsius.

2. BOOM! You get 15.

Remember that the formula used to convert to °C from F is:


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

Plugging in the 59F in the formula,


C=(5)/(9)(59-32)\rightarrow C=(5)/(9)(27)\rightarrow C=15

We'll get 15°C
