Question
To conserve energy, room temperatures are kept at $68.0^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ in the winter and $78.0^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$ in the summer. What are these temperatures on the Celsius scale?
Step 1
0^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$, we can substitute $F = 68.0$ into the formula: $C = \frac{5}{9}(68.0 - 32)$ Simplifying the equation: $C = \frac{5}{9}(36.0)$ $C = \frac{180}{9}$ $C = 20.0$ Show more…
