Question

convert 97°f to degrees celsius. round your answer to the correct number of significant figures. °c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion formula

The formula to convert Fahrenheit ($F$) to Celsius ($C$) is $C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$.

Step2: Substitute the value of F

Given $F = 97$, we substitute it into the formula: $C=\frac{5}{9}(97 - 32)$.
First, calculate $97-32$: $97 - 32=65$.
Then, calculate $\frac{5}{9}\times65$: $C=\frac{5\times65}{9}=\frac{325}{9}\approx36.111\cdots$.

Step3: Round to significant - figures

Since 97 has two significant figures, we round our answer to two significant figures. So $C\approx36^{\circ}C$.

Answer:

$36$
