question
a digital food thermometer is capable of showing both °f to one decimal place in the middle of the screen, and °c to one decimal place in a smaller print at the top right corner of the screen.
if the middle of the screen shows 75°f, what is being displayed at the top right corner of the screen? round your answer to the nearest tenth.
provide your answer below:
°c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion formula

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

Step2: Substitute the given Fahrenheit value

Given $F = 75$, substitute into the formula: $C=\frac{5}{9}(75 - 32)$.
First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: $75-32 = 43$.
So, $C=\frac{5\times43}{9}=\frac{215}{9}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{215}{9}\approx23.9$ (rounded to the nearest tenth).

Answer:

$23.9$
