Explanation:

Step1: Substitute F value

Substitute $F = 116$ into the formula $C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$. So we get $C=\frac{5}{9}(116 - 32)$.

Step2: Calculate the value in parentheses

First, calculate $116-32 = 84$. Then the formula becomes $C=\frac{5}{9}\times84$.

Step3: Multiply and divide

$\frac{5}{9}\times84=\frac{420}{9}\approx46.7$.

Answer:

$46.7$
