Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the formula to convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), which is: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)\).
Substitute the given Fahrenheit temperature (104°F) into the formula: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} (104 - 32)\).
Calculate the difference inside the parentheses: \$104 - 32$.
Multiply the result by 5 and then divide by 9 to find the Celsius temperature: \(\displaystyle C = \frac{5}{9} \times (\text{difference})\).
Interpret the final value as the temperature in degrees Celsius.
