Answer 1

Step 1: Write out the formula for conversion

$C=(F-32)\times\frac{5}{9}$

where:

$\begin{gathered} C=\text{ Temperature in degrees Celsius} \\ F=\text{ Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit} \end{gathered}$

Step 2: Identify the given parameters

In the question, we are given the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to be:

$F=100.2$

Step 3: Substitute 100.2 for F into the formula for the conversion

$C=(100.2-32)\times\frac{5}{9}$

Step 4: Solve for C using a calculator

$C=37.89$

ANSWER:

The answer is 37.89°C.
