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 = $^{circ}$c (round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute F value

Given $F = 34$, substitute into $C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$. So $C=\frac{5}{9}(34 - 32)$.

Step2: Calculate the value in parentheses

$34-32 = 2$, then $C=\frac{5}{9}\times2$.

Step3: Perform the multiplication

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

Answer:

$1.1$
