Question Convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius given 101F101^\circ F.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The temperature in Fahrenheit to be converted is 101F101^{\circ} \mathrm{F}.
2. The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is C=59(F32)C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32), where CC is the temperature in Celsius and FF is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

STEP 2

Write down the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius.
C=59(F32)C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)

STEP 3

Substitute 101F101^{\circ} \mathrm{F} for FF in the formula.
C=59(10132)C = \frac{5}{9}(101 - 32)

STEP 4

Subtract 32 from 101 to find the temperature in Fahrenheit above the freezing point of water.
C=59(10132)=59(69)C = \frac{5}{9}(101 - 32) = \frac{5}{9}(69)

STEP 5

Multiply 69 by 59\frac{5}{9} to convert the temperature to Celsius.
C=59×69C = \frac{5}{9} \times 69

STEP 6

Calculate the product.
C=5×699C = \frac{5 \times 69}{9}

STEP 7

Divide 69 by 9.
C=5×699=5×699=5×7.666C = \frac{5 \times 69}{9} = 5 \times \frac{69}{9} = 5 \times 7.666\ldots

STEP 8

Multiply 5 by 7.666... (which is 699\frac{69}{9}).
C=5×7.666C = 5 \times 7.666\ldots

STEP 9

Calculate the final result.
C=5×7.66638.333C = 5 \times 7.666\ldots \approx 38.333\ldots

STEP 10

Round the result to a reasonable number of decimal places. In this case, we will round to two decimal places.
C38.33CC \approx 38.33^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
The temperature 101F101^{\circ} \mathrm{F} is approximately equal to 38.33C38.33^{\circ} \mathrm{C}.
