Which is equal to a temperature of [tex]50^{\circ}F[/tex]?

A. [tex]18^{\circ}C[/tex]
B. [tex]46^{\circ}C[/tex]
C. [tex]10^{\circ}C[/tex]
D. [tex]32^{\circ}C[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which temperature in Celsius is equivalent to [tex]\( 50^{\circ} F \)[/tex], we'll use the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius:

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

Here, [tex]\( F = 50 \)[/tex].

Step-by-step solution:

1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
[tex]\[ 50 - 32 = 18 \][/tex]

2. Multiply the result by [tex]\( \frac{5}{9} \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{5}{9} \times 18 \][/tex]

3. Simplify the multiplication:
[tex]\[ \frac{5}{9} \times 18 = 10 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( 50^{\circ} F \)[/tex] is equal to [tex]\( 10^{\circ} C \)[/tex].

Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 10^{\circ} C \][/tex]
