Question


To raise money for charity, Josh and some friends are hiking across the continent of Asia. While out on the trail one day, one of his French friends asks Josh for the temperature. He glances at his precision sports watch and sees that the temperature is
65.2°F
. What is this temperature in degrees Celsius (
°C
)?
Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.
We can use the formula:

°C = (°F - 32) x 5/9

Plugging in the given temperature:

°C = (65.2 - 32) x 5/9

Simplifying:

°C = 33.2 x 5/9

°C = 18.4

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

°C ≈ 18.4

Therefore, the temperature of 65.2°F is approximately equal to 18.4°C.
