Question

the temperature is 80°f, find the temperature in celsius given the formula: °c = \frac{5}{9}(°f - 32)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute °F = 80 into formula

$$^\circ\text{C} = \frac{5}{9}(80 - 32)$$

Step2: Calculate the subtraction inside parentheses

$$80 - 32 = 48$$

Step3: Multiply by the fraction

$$^\circ\text{C} = \frac{5}{9} \times 48 = \frac{240}{9} = \frac{80}{3} \approx 26.67$$

Answer:

The temperature in Celsius is $\frac{80}{3}^\circ\text{C}$ (or approximately $26.67^\circ\text{C}$)
