Round to the nearest tenth.
9

Answer 1

38.9 c
Is the answer

Answer 2

38.9 degrees C

Explanation:

Use the equation:

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

to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius. So replace the value for the Fahrenheit with 102 and solve for C:

`C=(5)/(9) (F-32)\\C=(5)/(9) (102-32)\\C=(5)/(9) (70)\\C=(350)/(9) \approx38.89\,^oC`

which to the nearest tenth can be written as: 38.9 degrees C
