Question

the average high temperature in boise, id is 63 °f in april. boise is the same latitude as marseille, france. it has similar weather but france uses the celsius scale. what is 63 °f in degrees celsius?
°c = \frac{5}{9}(°f - 32)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula and given value

We are given the formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius: \(^{\circ}\text{C} = \frac{5}{9}(^{\circ}\text{F} - 32)\), and the Fahrenheit temperature is \(63^{\circ}\text{F}\).

Step2: Substitute the Fahrenheit value into the formula

First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: \(63 - 32 = 31\).

Step3: Multiply by \(\frac{5}{9}\)

Now, multiply \(31\) by \(\frac{5}{9}\): \(^{\circ}\text{C} = \frac{5}{9} \times 31=\frac{155}{9}\approx 17.22\) (rounded to two decimal places).

Answer:

Approximately \(17.22^{\circ}\text{C}\) (or \(\frac{155}{9}^{\circ}\text{C}\) as an exact fraction)
