seventy-five degrees fahrenheit is about how many degrees celsius?
10°
14°
24°
34°

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the Fahrenheit to Celsius formula

The formula to convert Fahrenheit (\(F\)) to Celsius (\(C\)) is \(C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)\).

Step2: Substitute \(F = 75\) into the formula

Substitute \(F = 75\) into the formula: \(C=\frac{5}{9}(75 - 32)\). First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: \(75-32 = 43\). Then, multiply by \(\frac{5}{9}\): \(C=\frac{5\times43}{9}=\frac{215}{9}\approx23.89\), which is approximately \(24^\circ\)C.

Answer:

24° (corresponding to the option "24°")
