Question

convert 10° f to celsius. use the formula $c = \frac{5}{9}(f - 32)$ or $f=\frac{9}{5}c + 32$, where f is the degrees in fahrenheit and c is the degrees in celsius. round your answer to the nearest hundredths place. 10° f = °c

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute F value

Substitute $F = 10$ into $C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$. So we get $C=\frac{5}{9}(10 - 32)$.

Step2: Calculate the value in parentheses

First calculate $10-32=-22$. Then the formula becomes $C=\frac{5}{9}\times(-22)$.

Step3: Calculate the final value

$C=\frac{5\times(-22)}{9}=\frac{-110}{9}\approx - 12.22$.

Answer:

$-12.22$
