Question
Create an equation to convert Fahrenheit degrees into Celsius degrees. [Hint: Refer to Eq. (15.1).]
Step 1
Step 1: First, we start with the equation for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius, which is given as: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \] where \(F\) is the temperature in Fahrenheit and \(C\) is the temperature in Celsius. Show more…

Convert the following temperatures to degrees Celsius given $C=59(F-32),$ where F represents degrees Fahrenheit. $$ 95^{\circ} \mathrm{F} $$
Use the information about Celsius and Fahrenheit given in Exercise 95 to obtain a linear equation for $C$ in terms of $F$, and use your equation to find the Celsius temperatures corresponding to $104^{\circ} \mathrm{F}, 77^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$, $14^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$, and $-40^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$, to the nearest degree.
