Question

To convert a temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, there is a formula: C=5/9(F-32)

where C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius and F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
If a temperature is 86'F, what is that temperature measured in Celsius? (Use degC for and degF for .)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Formula

C = 5/9*(F - 32)

Givens

F = 86 deg F

Solution

C = 5/9* (86 - 32) Combine the right

C = 5/9* (54) Divide by 9

C = 5 * 6

C = 30 deg C
