Convert the temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, using the formula below.

Question

C = 5/9 × (F – 32)

68°F =
°C

Answer 1

To convert 68°F to degrees Celsius using the formula \( C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32) \):

1. Substitute \( F = 68 \) into the formula:

\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (68 - 32) \]

2. Calculate \( 68 - 32 \):

\[ 68 - 32 = 36 \]

3. Now substitute that value back into the equation:

\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times 36 \]

4. Multiply \( \frac{5}{9} \) by \( 36 \):

\[ C = \frac{180}{9} = 20 \]

Therefore, \( 68°F \) is equal to \( 20°C \).
