Select the best answer for the question.

9. [tex]$41^{\circ} F$[/tex] equals how many degrees Celsius?

A. [tex]$5^{\circ} C$[/tex]
B. [tex][tex]$9^{\circ} C$[/tex][/tex]
C. [tex]$56^{\circ} C$[/tex]
D. [tex]$-5^{\circ} C$[/tex]



Answer :

To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, you can use the formula:

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

where [tex]\( F \)[/tex] is the temperature in Fahrenheit, and [tex]\( C \)[/tex] is the temperature in Celsius.

Given [tex]\( F = 41 \)[/tex]:

Step 1: Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
[tex]\[ 41 - 32 = 9 \][/tex]

Step 2: Multiply the result by 5:
[tex]\[ 9 \times 5 = 45 \][/tex]

Step 3: Divide the product by 9:
[tex]\[ \frac{45}{9} = 5 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( 41^{\circ} F \)[/tex] is equal to [tex]\( 5^{\circ} C \)[/tex].

The best answer is:
A. [tex]\(5^{\circ} C\)[/tex]
