How do you convert 97.9 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Answer: Converting temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius involves using the formula:

C = \frac{5}{9} \left( F - 32 \right)

where ( C ) is the temperature in Celsius and ( F ) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

  1. Substitute 97.9 for F:
C = \frac{5}{9} \left( 97.9 - 32 \right)
  1. Perform the subtraction inside the parentheses:
97.9 - 32 = 65.9
  1. Multiply by 5/9:
C = \frac{5}{9} \times 65.9
  1. Convert the fraction to a decimal for easier calculation:
\frac{5}{9} \approx 0.5556
  1. Multiply:
C \approx 0.5556 \times 65.9
  1. Calculate the result:
C \approx 36.61

Therefore, 97.9 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 36.61 degrees Celsius.
