°F=1.8°C−32; 60.6°C
°F=1.8°C−32; 60.6°C

°F−32=°C1.8; 81°C
°F−32=°C1.8; 81°C

°F=1.8°C+32; 25°C
°F=1.8°C+32; 25°C

°F=1.8+°C+32; 43.2°C
°F=1.8+°C+32; 43.2°C

Answer 1

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

\[ °C = \frac{°F - 32}{1.8} \]

You can rearrange this equation to express °F in terms of °C, which gives:

\[ °F = 1.8°C + 32 \]

Now, to convert 77°F to °C using the conversion formula:

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

Therefore, the correct response is:

\[ °F=1.8°C+32; 25°C \]
