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.

Now, substituting the given value:

\[ F = 149°F \]

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

\[ C = \frac{5}{9}(117) \]

\[ C = \frac{585}{9} \]

\[ C = 65°C \]

So the equivalent temperature in Celsius of 149°F is 65°C.
