the temperature on a warm summer day is 84 F. what is the temperature in degrees celsius? express the the temperature in celsius to two significant digits

1 answer

To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:

\[ C = \frac{(F - 32) \times 5}{9} \]

Plugging in 84 degrees Fahrenheit:

\[ C = \frac{(84 - 32) \times 5}{9} \]

\[ C = \frac{52 \times 5}{9} \]

\[ C = \frac{260}{9} \approx 28.89 \]

Rounding to two significant digits, the temperature in Celsius is approximately:

\[ 29 , \text{°C} \]
