Question

Epitaxian is a cutting edge technology company based in Texas. The company has just finisheddeveloping a prototype of a product it is calling the X-13. According to the company'sdocumentation, the X-13 must be operated in a room that is kept at a temperature of 18.1 °F.What is this temperature in degrees Celsius (°C)?Use the given formulas as necessary, and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.°CX2?Formulas:C11599|5F=(F-32)C+32 I need help with this math problem.

Answer 1

Solution

- The formula for converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius is given below:

$\begin{gathered} (f-32)\degree F\times\frac{5}{9}=Y\degree C \\ where, \\ Y=Celsius\text{ temperature} \\ f=Fahrenheit\text{ temperature} \end{gathered}$

- Thus, we can solve the question as follows:

$\begin{gathered} f=18.1\degree F \\ \\ \therefore Y=(18.1-32)\times\frac{5}{9} \\ \\ Y=-7.7222...\degree\approx-7.7\degree\text{ \lparen To the nearest tenth of a degree\rparen} \end{gathered}$

Final Answer

The answer is -7.7 degree Celsius
