Question

A certain computer microchip cannot be subjected to temperatures below 59° Fahrenheit. What is this in degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

15°C

Explanation:

Use the following formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:

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

Substitute the value for the variable and solve for C.

`C=(5)/(9)(59-32)\\C=(5)/(9)(27)\\C=15`

Therefore, 59°F is equivalent to 15°C.
