Question

convert the temperature from degrees fahrenheit to degrees celsius, using the formula below.

$c = \frac{5}{9} \times (f - 32)$

$140^{circ}f=square^{circ}c$

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute F value

Substitute $F = 140$ into the formula $C=\frac{5}{9}\times(F - 32)$. So we get $C=\frac{5}{9}\times(140 - 32)$.

Step2: Calculate the value in parentheses

First, calculate $140-32 = 108$. Then the formula becomes $C=\frac{5}{9}\times108$.

Step3: Multiply

Calculate $\frac{5}{9}\times108$. Since $108\div9 = 12$, and $12\times5=60$. So $C = 60$.

Answer:

$60$
