The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water being 0\u00b0 and 100\u00b0 respectively, while the Fahrenheit scale sets these points at 32\u00b0 and 212\u00b0. The conversion formula is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00b0C = (\u00b0F &#8211; 32) \u00d7 5\/9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To convert 109\u00b0F to Celsius, we can follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature.<\/strong>\u00a0This initial step aligns the starting points of the two scales.<br>109 &#8211; 32 = 77<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiply the result by the fraction 5\/9.<\/strong>\u00a0This fraction represents the different interval sizes between the scales. The Celsius scale has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling, while Fahrenheit has 180 degrees (212 &#8211; 32). The ratio 100\/180 simplifies to 5\/9.<br>77 \u00d7 (5\/9) = 385 \/ 9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calculate the final value.<\/strong>\u00a0Dividing 385 by 9 gives the temperature in Celsius.<br>385 \u00f7 9 \u2248 42.777&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For most practical purposes, this number is rounded to one or two decimal places. Rounding to two decimal places gives us 42.78\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, a temperature of 109\u00b0F is equivalent to 42.78\u00b0C. This is a very high temperature, indicating either a severe heatwave in terms of weather or a dangerously high fever if referring to body temperature. Understanding this conversion is crucial for accurately interpreting temperature data, especially in scientific, medical, and international contexts where Celsius is the predominant scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-2304.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-273529\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: Correct Answer:&nbsp;109\u00b0 Fahrenheit is equal to&nbsp;42.78\u00b0 Celsius.
