Question

Temperature of the room is recorded as ${80.6}^{o}F$. What is the temperature of the room in degree Celsius ?

• A. ${23}^{o}C$
• B. ${25}^{o}C$
• C. ${27}^{o}C$
• D. ${29}^{o}C$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

${27}^{o}C$

Conversion of temperature is

${}^{\circ }F=\frac{9}{5}{\times }^{\circ }C+{32}^{\circ }{\Rightarrow }^{\circ }C=\frac{5}{9}{(}^{\circ }F-{32}^{\circ })$

For ${80.6}^{\circ }F$
${}^{\circ }C=\frac{5}{9}({80.6}^{\circ }-{32}^{\circ }){}^{}{}^{\circ }C=\frac{5}{9}\times {48.6}^{\circ }={27}^{\circ }$

So option $C$ is correct.
