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 = 3.3°c

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \( F = 38 \) into the formula

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

Step2: Calculate the value inside the parentheses

$$38-32 = 6$$

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

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

Answer:

\(38^{\circ}F = 3.3^{\circ}C\)
