The formula [tex]C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)[/tex] is used to convert the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F) to degrees Celsius (C).

Calculate the temperature in degrees Celsius for 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer :

Find the value of C if the value of F is 113 degrees, given the formula below:

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32) \\ \text{Where F=113} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substituting 113 for F, we get,

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=\frac{5}{9}(113-32) \\ \\ C=\frac{5}{9}(81)=\frac{5}{9}\times81=5\times9=45\text{ degrees Celsius} \end{gathered}[/tex]
