Chapter 9: Problem 43

Convert the given Fahrenheit temperature to its equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale. Where appropriate, round to the nearest tenth of a degree. \(72^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The equivalent Celsius temperature for \(72^{\circ}\) Fahrenheit is \(22.2^{\circ}\) Celsius when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the conversion formula

The formula to convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius is: \((F - 32) \times 5/9 = C\) where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in Celsius.
02

Substitute the given Fahrenheit temperature

Given that the Fahrenheit temperature is \(72^{\circ}\), substitute \(72^{\circ}\) for F in the conversion formula: \((72 - 32) \times 5/9 = C\).
03

Perform the calculations

First perform the subtraction, then the multiplication to find the Celsius temperature: \((40) \times 5/9 = 22.22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
04

Round to the nearest tenth

The Celsius temperature, rounded to the nearest tenth, is \(22.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).
