Convert the temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, using the formula below.
C =
5
9
× (F – 32)
59°F =
°C
15°C
To convert 59°F to °C, we can use the formula:
C = 5/9 × (F - 32)
Substituting the given Fahrenheit temperature, which is 59, into the formula, we get:
C = 5/9 × (59 - 32)
Now, let's simplify the equation:
C = 5/9 × 27
To find the result, we multiply 5/9 by 27:
C = (5 × 27) / 9
C = 135 / 9
C ≈ 15
Therefore, 59°F is approximately equal to 15°C.
