The average high temperature in Boise, ID is [tex]63^{\circ} F[/tex] in April. Boise is the same latitude as Marseille, France. It 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}\left(^{\circ} F-32\right)[/tex]

Answer :

To convert [tex]\(63^{\circ} F\)[/tex] to degrees Celsius, we can use the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius:

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

Let's calculate 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]\[
\frac{5}{9} \times 31 \approx 17.222
\][/tex]

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