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 Fahrenheit temperature, 50°F, into the formula: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (50 - 32)\).
Calculate the difference inside the parentheses: \$50 - 32 = 18$.
Multiply by \( \frac{5}{9} \) to find the Celsius temperature: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} \times 18\).
Simplify the multiplication to find the Celsius equivalent of 50°F and compare it to the given options to identify the correct match.
