Chapter 9: Problem 42

Convert the given Fahrenheit temperature to its equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale. Where appropriate, round to the nearest tenth of a degree. \(50^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale is \(10^{\circ}C\).

Step by step solution

01

Identification

Identify the given Fahrenheit temperature, in this case, it's \(50^{\circ}F\).
02

Apply Conversion Formula

Apply the conversion formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius which is \(C = (F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}\). Substitute \(F = 50\) into the formula, getting \(C = (50 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}\).
03

Calculate Value

Carry out the operations within the parentheses first, according to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), to get \(C = 18 \times \frac{5}{9}\). Multiply 18 by \(\frac{5}{9}\) to get the Celsius temperature.
04

Round Off

Round off the value to the nearest tenth if necessary. In this case there's no need since result is a precise value without any decimals.
