The temperature on a summer day is 77 degrees Fahrenheit. The formula to covert temperature to degrees Celsius is C = 5/9(F-32). What is the corresponding temperature in degrees Celsius?
goodness.
subtract 32 from the temp
multiply it by 5/9
To find the corresponding temperature in degrees Celsius, we will use the formula C = 5/9(F-32), where C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius and F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
First, let's substitute the given Fahrenheit temperature into the formula:
C = 5/9(77-32)
Next, we simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
C = 5/9(45)
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (top) and denominators (bottom) separately:
C = (5*45)/(9*1)
Multiplying the numbers gives us:
C = 225/9
Now, we can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9:
C = 25/1
Finally, we have our answer:
The corresponding temperature in degrees Celsius is 25.
