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} (^{\circ} F - 32)[/tex]

Answer :

We start with the conversion formula:
[tex]$$
^\circ C = \frac{5}{9} \left( ^\circ F - 32 \right).
$$[/tex]

1. Substitute the temperature in Fahrenheit:
[tex]$$
^\circ C = \frac{5}{9} \left( 63 - 32 \right).
$$[/tex]

2. Compute the difference:
[tex]$$
63 - 32 = 31.
$$[/tex]

3. Multiply by the conversion factor:
[tex]$$
^\circ C = \frac{5}{9} \times 31 = \frac{155}{9} \approx 17.2222.
$$[/tex]

Thus, [tex]$63^\circ F$[/tex] is approximately [tex]$17.22^\circ C$[/tex].
