Question

a client has a temperature of 102.3° f. what is the clients approximate temperature in degrees celsius?

Explanation:

Step1: Use the conversion formula

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

Step2: Substitute the value of $F$

Given $F = 102.3$, substitute into the formula: $C=\frac{5}{9}(102.3- 32)$.
First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: $102.3-32 = 70.3$.
Then, calculate $C=\frac{5\times70.3}{9}=\frac{351.5}{9}\approx39.06$.

Answer:

$39.1^{\circ}C$ (rounded to one decimal place)
