Answer:

30°C

Explanation:

The Conversion Formula :-

  • F - 32 / 9 = C / 5

F is given to be 86.

Substitution

  • 86 - 32 / 9 = C / 5
  • 54 / 9 = C / 5
  • C = 6 x 5
  • C = 30°C

Answer:

Sample Response: To find the celsius temperature, substitute 86 for F in the formula. Then, use the order of operations to simplify. Substract 32 from 86. Then multiply 5 9 by 54 to get 30°C.
