Answer 1

To convert from degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius (°C), the correct equation is:

\[
°C = \frac{(°F - 32)}{1.8}
\]

This is derived from rearranging the original formula you provided. Now, we can use this equation to find what 77°F is in °C:

\[
°C = \frac{(77 - 32)}{1.8}
\]
\[
°C = \frac{45}{1.8}
\]
\[
°C = 25
\]

So, 77°F is equal to 25°C.

The correct response from the available options would be:

**°F - 32 = °C \* 1.8; 25°C**
