The average high temperature in Boise, ID, is [tex]63^{\circ} F[/tex] in April. Boise is at the same latitude as Marseille, France, and has similar weather, but France uses the Celsius scale.

What is [tex]63^{\circ} F[/tex] in degrees Celsius?

[tex]^{\circ} C = \frac{5}{9}(^{\circ} F - 32)[/tex]

Answer :

To convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:

[tex]\[ {}^{\circ} C = \frac{5}{9} \times ({}^{\circ} F - 32) \][/tex]

For this problem, the temperature in Fahrenheit is [tex]\( 63^{\circ} F \)[/tex]. Let's walk through the conversion step-by-step:

1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:

[tex]\[ 63 - 32 = 31 \][/tex]

2. Multiply the result by [tex]\(\frac{5}{9}\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ \frac{5}{9} \times 31 \][/tex]

3. Calculate the multiplication:

[tex]\[ \frac{5}{9} \times 31 \approx 17.222 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( 63^{\circ} F \)[/tex] is approximately [tex]\( 17.22^{\circ} C \)[/tex].
