Question

the days high temperature in santa fe, new mexico was recorded as 122°f. use the formula c = 5/9(f - 32) to write 122°f as degrees celsius. the days high temperature written as degrees celsius is □°c.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the values for F

Given F = 122.

Step2: Substitute F into the formula

Substitute F = 122 into C=$\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$. So C=$\frac{5}{9}(122 - 32)$.

Step3: Calculate the value inside the parentheses

122 - 32 = 90. So C=$\frac{5}{9}\times90$.

Step4: Calculate the value of C

$\frac{5}{9}\times90=50$.

Answer:
