Answer 1

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

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

Where \(F\) is the temperature in Fahrenheit and \(C\) is the temperature in Celsius.

For 149°F:

\[ C = \frac{5}{9}(149 - 32) \]

First, subtract 32 from 149:

\[ 149 - 32 = 117 \]

Now, multiply by \(\frac{5}{9}\):

\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times 117 = \frac{585}{9} \approx 65 \]

So, 149°F is approximately 65°C.

The correct response is 65°C.
