a high temperature of 120°f was recorded in europe. convert this temperature to celsius.\n120°f = □°c\n(round to the nearest degree as needed.)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall conversion formula
$C=\frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$
Step2: Substitute F value
$C=\frac{5}{9}(120 - 32)$
Step3: Calculate inside parentheses
$120-32 = 88$
Step4: Multiply by $\frac{5}{9}$
$C=\frac{5\times88}{9}=\frac{440}{9}\approx49$
Answer:
$49$
