Answer :
To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the formula:
[tex]$$
C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)
$$[/tex]
Given a temperature of [tex]$78^\circ F$[/tex], the first step is to subtract [tex]$32$[/tex] from [tex]$78$[/tex], resulting in:
[tex]$$
78 - 32 = 46
$$[/tex]
The next step is to multiply [tex]$46$[/tex] by [tex]$\frac{5}{9}$[/tex]:
[tex]$$
C = 46 \times \frac{5}{9}
$$[/tex]
This multiplication provides the temperature in Celsius. Thus, the correct next step is to multiply [tex]$46$[/tex] by [tex]$\frac{5}{9}$[/tex].
