Question

fahrenheit to celsius
the formula to convert from fahrenheit to celsius is $c = \frac{5}{9}(f - 32)$. if the
temperature on a summer day in phoenix, arizona is $121 ^ { \circ } f$. what would this temperature
be in degrees celsius? round your answer to one decimal place.
if the temperature is $121 ^ { \circ } f$, that is equivalent to $\square ^ { \circ } c$.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the value of \( F \) into the formula

Given \( C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32) \) and \( F = 121 \), we substitute \( F \) into the formula: \( C=\frac{5}{9}(121-32) \)

Step2: Calculate the value inside the parentheses

First, calculate \( 121 - 32=89 \). So the formula becomes \( C=\frac{5}{9}\times89 \)

Step3: Perform the multiplication

\( C=\frac{5\times89}{9}=\frac{445}{9}\approx49.4 \)

Answer:

\( 49.4 \)
