Question

convert the given fahrenheit temperature to its equivalent temperature on the celsius scale. use $c = \frac{5}{9}(f - 32)$ or $f = \frac{9}{5}c + 32$, where f is the degrees in fahrenheit and c is the degrees in celsius. 34°f 34°f = □°c (round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute F value

Substitute $F = 34$ into $C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$.
$C=\frac{5}{9}(34 - 32)$

Step2: Calculate the value in parentheses

Calculate $34-32$.
$34 - 32=2$
So $C=\frac{5}{9}\times2$

Step3: Calculate C

$C=\frac{10}{9}\approx1.1$

Answer:

$1.1$
