What is 104°F in degrees Celsius?

• A. 40°C
• B. 25°C
• C. 32°C
• D. 50°C

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the formula to convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), which is: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)\).
2. Substitute the given Fahrenheit temperature (104°F) into the formula: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (104 - 32)\).
3. Calculate the difference inside the parentheses: \(104 - 32\).
4. Multiply the result by 5 and then divide by 9 to find the Celsius temperature: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} \times (\text{difference})\).
5. Interpret the final value as the temperature in degrees Celsius.
