Question

Convert 60°F to degrees Celsius. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree. Here are the formulas.

Answer 1

The given formula to convert from degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

`C=(5)/(9)(F-32)`

No, replace F by 60° and solve for C:

`\begin{gathered} C=(5)/(9)(60-32) \\ \\ C=(5)/(9)(28) \\ \\ C=(5*28)/(9) \\ \\ C=(140)/(9) \\ \\ C=15.6\degree \end{gathered}`

So 60°F=15.6°C
