What is the temperature 106°F expressed in degrees Celsius?

• A. 38.0°C
• B. 46.7°C
• C. 32.2°C
• D. 41.1°C

Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula to convert temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C): \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)\).
2. Substitute the given temperature in Fahrenheit into the formula: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (106 - 32)\).
3. Calculate the difference inside the parentheses: \(\displaystyle 106 - 32\).
4. Multiply the result by \(\frac{5}{9}\) to find the temperature in Celsius.
5. Express the final answer in degrees Celsius, which will be the temperature equivalent to 106°F.
