Explanation:

Step1: Substitute F value

Substitute $F = 114$ into the formula $C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$. So we get $C=\frac{5}{9}(114 - 32)$.

Step2: Calculate the value in parentheses

First, calculate $114-32 = 82$. Then the formula becomes $C=\frac{5}{9}\times82$.

Step3: Calculate the final value

$C=\frac{5\times82}{9}=\frac{410}{9}\approx45.6$.

Answer:

$45.6$
