Convert [tex]$68^{\circ} F$[/tex] to degrees Celsius.

Use the formula [tex]$C = \frac{5(F-32)}{9}$[/tex], where [tex]$C$[/tex] is the temperature in [tex]$^{\circ}$[/tex] Celsius, and [tex]$F$[/tex] is the temperature in [tex]$^{\circ}$[/tex] Fahrenheit.

[tex]$68^{\circ} F = \square \ ^{\circ} C$[/tex]

Answer :

To convert [tex]\(68^\circ F\)[/tex] to degrees Celsius, we can use the formula:

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

where [tex]\(C\)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Celsius and [tex]\(F\)[/tex] is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Let's go through the steps:

1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
[tex]\( 68 - 32 = 36 \)[/tex]

2. Multiply the result by 5:
[tex]\( 5 \times 36 = 180 \)[/tex]

3. Divide the result by 9:
[tex]\(\frac{180}{9} = 20\)[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\(68^\circ F\)[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\(20^\circ C\)[/tex].
