Question

The formula C=5/9(F−32) can be used to convert temperature from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F). The highest temperature ever recorded in the United States was 134 ∘F in Death Valley on July 10, 1913. What was the temperature that day in Celsius, rounded to the nearest degree?

Answer 1

Answer:

57 °C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that is used to convert temperature from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F) is given by :

$C=\dfrac{5}{9}(F-32)$ ...(1)

If T = 134° F, we need to convert the temperature in Celsius.

Put F = 134, in equation (1)

$C=\dfrac{5}{9}(134-32)\\\\=\dfrac{5}{9}\times 102\\\\=56.66^{\circ} C\\\\\text{or}\\\\T=57^{\circ} C$

So, the temperature on that day is 57 °C.
