Question

a frozen medication becomes a liquid at 37.4°f. at which of the following temperatures will this medication become a liquid in degrees celsius?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion formula

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

Step2: Substitute the given Fahrenheit value

Given $F = 37.4$, we substitute it into the formula: $C=\frac{5}{9}(37.4 - 32)$.

Step3: Calculate the value inside the parentheses

$37.4-32 = 5.4$.

Step4: Multiply by the fraction

$C=\frac{5}{9}\times5.4$. Since $\frac{5}{9}\times5.4=\frac{5\times5.4}{9}=\frac{27}{9}=3$.

Answer:

$3^{\circ}C$
