Question

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

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

$158^{circ}f = square^{circ}c$

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute F value

Substitute $F = 158$ into the formula $C=\frac{5}{9}\times(F - 32)$. So we get $C=\frac{5}{9}\times(158 - 32)$.

Step2: Calculate the value in parentheses

First, calculate $158-32 = 126$. Then the formula becomes $C=\frac{5}{9}\times126$.

Step3: Multiply

Calculate $\frac{5}{9}\times126$. Since $126\div9 = 14$, and $14\times5=70$. So $C = 70$.

Answer:

$70$
