Question

convert 38°f to degrees celsius.
if necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
here are the formulas.

c = \frac{5}{9}(f - 32)

f = \frac{9}{5}c + 32

38°f = \square°c

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \( F = 38 \) into the formula \( C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) \)

$$C=\frac{5}{9}(38 - 32)$$

Step2: Calculate the value inside the parentheses

$$38-32 = 6$$
So now the formula is \( C=\frac{5}{9}\times6 \)

Step3: Multiply \( \frac{5}{9} \) by \( 6 \)

$$C=\frac{5\times6}{9}=\frac{30}{9}=\frac{10}{3}\approx3.3$$

Answer:

\( 3.3 \)
