The highest temperature ever recorded in the US is 134 Fahrenheit. Express this temperature in Celsius.

A. 407.15 Celsius
B. 139.15 Celsius
C. 56.66 Celsius
D. 76.29 Celsius

Answer :

(c) The highest recorded temperature in the US translates to 56.67°C.

To convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the formula:

C = (F - 32) imes 5/9

Where: F = 134°F

  1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature: 134 - 32 = 102
  2. Multiply the result by 5/9: 102 imes 5/9 ≈ 56.67°C

Therefore, the highest temperature ever recorded in the US, 134°F, is approximately 56.67°C.
