What is the temperature in degrees Celsius corresponding to 52 degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 11.1 °C
• B. 35.6 °C
• C. 0 °C
• D. 22.2 °C

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula to convert Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C): \(C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)\).
2. Substitute the given Fahrenheit temperature (52 °F) into the formula: \(C = \frac{5}{9} (52 - 32)\).
3. Calculate the difference inside the parentheses: \$52 - 32$.
4. Multiply the result by \(\frac{5}{9}\) to find the temperature in Celsius.
5. Interpret the final value as the temperature in degrees Celsius corresponding to 52 °F.
