The client has a temperature of 97 degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature converted to Celsius? Enter the numeric value only. Round the answer to tenths place.
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:
To convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the following formula:C=59×(F−32)C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F – 32)C=95×(F−32)
Where:
- CCC is the temperature in Celsius.
- FFF is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Given that the temperature is 97°F:C=59×(97−32)C = \frac{5}{9} \times (97 – 32)C=95×(97−32)C=59×65C = \frac{5}{9} \times 65C=95×65C=36.1C = 36.1C=36.1
So, the temperature in Celsius is 36.1°C.
Explanation:
- Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion involves subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiplying the result by 59\frac{5}{9}95.
- This formula is derived from the linear relationship between the two scales, where 0°C equals 32°F and each degree Fahrenheit represents a smaller change in temperature compared to Celsius.
