Convert the given Fahrenheit temperature to its equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale.

Use [tex]C = \frac{5}{9}(F-32)[/tex] or [tex]F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32[/tex], where [tex]F[/tex] is the degrees in Fahrenheit and [tex]C[/tex] is the degrees in Celsius.

[tex]-1^{\circ} F[/tex]

Answer :

Sure! Let's go through the step-by-step process to convert the given Fahrenheit temperature to its equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale.

The given temperature in Fahrenheit is [tex]\(-1^\circ F\)[/tex].

We will use the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius:
[tex]\[ C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32) \][/tex]

Here, [tex]\( F = -1 \)[/tex].

1. First, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
[tex]\[ F - 32 = -1 - 32 = -33 \][/tex]

2. Next, multiply the result by [tex]\(\frac{5}{9}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (-33) \][/tex]

3. When you multiply [tex]\(\frac{5}{9}\)[/tex] by [tex]\(-33\)[/tex], you get:
[tex]\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (-33) = -18.333333333333336 \][/tex]

So, the temperature [tex]\(-1^\circ F\)[/tex] is equivalent to approximately [tex]\(-18.33^\circ C\)[/tex] when rounded to two decimal places.

Thus, the equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale for [tex]\(-1^\circ F\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-18.33^\circ C\)[/tex].
