Question

a high temperature of 122°f was recorded in europe. convert this temperature to celsius. 122°f = □°c (round to the nearest degree as needed.)

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 $F = 122$, substitute it into the formula: $C=\frac{5}{9}(122 - 32)$.
First, calculate inside the parentheses: $122-32 = 90$.
Then, $C=\frac{5}{9}\times90$.
Since $\frac{5}{9}\times90=5\times10 = 50$.

Answer:

$50$
