To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the following conversion formula:
[tex]\[ \text{°C} = (\text{°F} - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} \][/tex]
Given that we need to convert 41 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), let's break down the steps:
1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
[tex]\[ 41 - 32 = 9 \][/tex]
2. Multiply the result by [tex]\(\frac{5}{9}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 9 \times \frac{5}{9} = 5 \][/tex]
Therefore, 41°F equals 5°C.
Let's now match our result with the given choices:
- A) 5°C
- B) 56°C
- C) 9°C
- D) -5°C
The correct answer is:
A) 5°C
