Convert 59\u00b0F to Celsius, using the formula C = (F – 32). 1\u00b0C 15\u00b0C 49\u00b0C 51\u00b0C<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To convert 59\u00b0F to Celsius using the formula ( C = \\frac{5}{9}(F – 32) ), we start by substituting the value of ( F ) (which is 59\u00b0F) into the formula. Here\u2019s how it works step-by-step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Substitute 59\u00b0F into the formula<\/strong>:
    [
    C = \\frac{5}{9}(59 – 32)
    ]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Perform the subtraction inside the parentheses<\/strong>:
    [
    59 – 32 = 27
    ]
    So now, the equation looks like this:
    [
    C = \\frac{5}{9}(27)
    ]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Multiply by (\\frac{5}{9})<\/strong>:
    To calculate this, we first multiply:
    [
    C = \\frac{5 \\times 27}{9} = \\frac{135}{9} = 15
    ]<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, the Celsius equivalent of 59\u00b0F is 15\u00b0C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation of the Conversion Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Temperature conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is based on two fixed points: the freezing point of water (32\u00b0F, 0\u00b0C) and the boiling point of water (212\u00b0F, 100\u00b0C). The formula ( C = \\frac{5}{9}(F – 32) ) is derived from the linear relationship between these two scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The subtraction of 32<\/strong> adjusts for the offset between the two scales. While both scales measure temperature, they have different starting points and intervals. For example, 0\u00b0C (the freezing point of water) is equivalent to 32\u00b0F.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The factor of (\\frac{5}{9})<\/strong> is used to account for the different degrees of temperature change in each scale. A change of 1\u00b0C corresponds to a change of 1.8\u00b0F, so (\\frac{1}{1.8}) simplifies to (\\frac{5}{9}).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      In practical terms, this means that when we convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we first remove the offset by subtracting 32, then scale the result to match the size of degrees on the Celsius scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Therefore, converting 59\u00b0F to Celsius gives us a result of 15\u00b0C, which can help individuals understand temperatures in contexts where Celsius is the standard measurement, such as in many countries around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
