Question

Convert 59°F to Celsius, using the formula C = (F - 32). 1°C 15°C 49°C 51°C

Answer 1

Answer: second option

Step-by-step explanation:

The  formula to convert the temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius is:

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

Where C  is the temperature in degrees Celsius and F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Having the temperature 59 °F (degrees Fahrenheit), you need to substitute it into the formula $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$ to make the conversion from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius (C).

Then, you get:

$C=\frac{5}{9}(59-32)\\C=15\°$
