Question

what is the celsius temperature corresponding to 59°f? (the conversion formula between fahrenheit and celsius is (°f - 32) x 5/9 = °c) ○ 27°c ○ 15°c ○ 12°c ○ 9°c

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the Fahrenheit value into the formula

We know the formula is \((^{\circ}\text{F} - 32)\times\frac{5}{9}=^{\circ}\text{C}\), and the given Fahrenheit temperature is \(59^{\circ}\text{F}\). So we substitute \(^{\circ}\text{F}=59\) into the formula: \((59 - 32)\times\frac{5}{9}\)

Step2: Calculate the value inside the parentheses

First, calculate \(59 - 32 = 27\). Now the expression becomes \(27\times\frac{5}{9}\)

Step3: Perform the multiplication

Simplify \(27\times\frac{5}{9}\). We can divide 27 by 9 first, \(27\div9 = 3\), then multiply by 5: \(3\times5=15\)

Answer:

15°C (corresponding to the option "15°C")
