Question

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

Substitute $F = 133$ into the formula: $C=\frac{5}{9}(133 - 32)$.
First, calculate the value inside the parentheses: $133-32 = 101$.
Then, $C=\frac{5}{9}\times101$.
$C=\frac{505}{9}\approx56.111\cdots$.

Step3: Round to significant - figures

The input value $133$ has 3 significant figures. So, rounding $56.111\cdots$ to 3 significant figures gives $56.1$.

Answer:

$56.1$
