directions: convert the following temperature as indicated.
\\(102^\circ\text{ f} = \text{_____ }^\circ\text{ c}\\). round off to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

State the conversion formula

$$ C = \frac{F - 32}{1.8} $$

Substitute the given value

$$ C = \frac{102 - 32}{1.8} = \frac{70}{1.8} \approx 38.8889 $$

Round to the nearest tenth

$$ C \approx 38.9 $$

Answer:

Directions: Convert the following temperature as indicated.
\(102^\circ\text{ F} =\) <blank>\(38.9\)</blank> \(^\circ\text{ C}\). Round off to the nearest tenth.
