Question

The average outside temperature in Honolulu during August is 88.7 °F. Convert this temperature to degrees Celsius. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.​

Answer 1

Answer:

32 C

Explanation:

The conversion formula is:

( TempF  -32 ) X 5/9

So:

(88.7 - 32) x 5/9

56.7 x 5/9  =  31.5C

Significant digits will make you round you answer off to 32 C

Your final answer may have no more significant figures to the right of the decimal than the LEAST number of significant figures in any number in the problem.  Part of your equation subtracts 32 that has no significant digits to the right of the decimal.
