The formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is [tex]f = \frac{9}{5}c + 32[/tex].

Convert 62 Fahrenheit to Celsius. Round to the nearest degree.

Answer :

We're given c to f and we want f to c:


[tex] f= \frac 9 5 c + 32 [/tex]


[tex] f - 32 = \frac 9 5 c[/tex]


[tex]c = \frac 5 9 (f-32) [/tex]


We substitute f=62


[tex] c= \frac 5 9(62-32)= \dfrac{5(30)}{9} = 16.66666... \approx 17 \textrm{ C}[/tex]

c=17 happy to help:)
