Question

On a hot day, the thermometer read 95°F. What is the temperature in degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

`35^@"C"`

Explanation:

We can convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the formula:

`c = 5/9(f-32)`

or from Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula:

`f = 9/5c + 32`

where `f` represents degrees Fahrenheit and `c` represents degrees Celsius.

In our example `f=95` and we want to find `c`, ...

`c = 5/9(f-32) = 5/9(95-32) = 5/9*63 = 35`
