Question

a high temperature of 120°f was recorded in europe. convert this temperature to celsius.
120°f = □°c
(round to the nearest degree as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion formula

$C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$

Step2: Substitute F value

$C=\frac{5}{9}(120 - 32)$

Step3: Calculate inside parentheses

$120-32 = 88$

Step4: Multiply by $\frac{5}{9}$

$C=\frac{5\times88}{9}=\frac{440}{9}\approx49$

Answer:

$49$
