Question

11Converting between temperatures in Fahrenheit and CelsiusEpitaxian is a cutting edge technology company based in Florida. 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 61.9 °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.0°CkeXS?Formulas:5C==(F-32)99F=C+32I need help with this math problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

16.6°C

Explanation:

We need to convert 61.9 °F to °C. So, we will use the following equation

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

So, replacing F with 61.9, we get:

$\begin{gathered} C=\frac{5}{9}(61.9-32) \\ \\ C=\frac{5}{9}(29.9) \\ \\ C=16.6 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is 16.6°C
