A
10 °C
B
20 °C
C
32 °C
D
50 °C
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the formula to convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C): \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)\).
Substitute the given temperature in Fahrenheit, which is 50°F, into the formula: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (50 - 32)\).
Calculate the difference inside the parentheses: \(50 - 32 = 18\).
Multiply 18 by 5/9 to find the Celsius equivalent: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} \times 18\).
Simplify the multiplication to find the temperature in Celsius and compare it to the given options to identify which one matches.
