To find the temperature in degrees Celsius using the formula \( c = \frac{n - 40}{4} \), where \( n \) is the number of cricket chirps, we can substitute \( n = 51 \) into the formula.
\[
c = \frac{51 - 40}{4}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
c = \frac{11}{4} = 2.75
\]
So, the temperature in degrees Celsius is **2.75**.
\[
c = \frac{51 - 40}{4}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
c = \frac{11}{4} = 2.75
\]
So, the temperature in degrees Celsius is **2.75**.
