Convert to Celsius.

[tex]\[ 99^{\circ} F \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 99^{\circ} F = \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, ^{\circ} C \][/tex]

(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)



Answer :

To convert 99°F to Celsius, we use the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Celsius} = (\text{Fahrenheit} - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} \][/tex]

Let's break down the steps:

1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
[tex]\[ 99 - 32 = 67 \][/tex]

2. Multiply the result by [tex]\(\frac{5}{9}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 67 \times \frac{5}{9} \][/tex]

3. Calculate the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 67 \times \frac{5}{9} \approx 37.2222 \][/tex]

4. Round the result to the nearest tenth:
[tex]\[ 37.2222 \approx 37.2 \][/tex]

So, the temperature 99°F is approximately [tex]\(37.2^\circ C\)[/tex] when rounded to the nearest tenth.
