Answer:
16 °F = -8.89 °C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Temperature is Fahrenheit is, [tex]F= 16[/tex]° F
The formula that relates Fahrenheit and Celsius is:
[tex]F=1.8C+32[/tex]
Express this in terms of Celsius [tex]C[/tex]. This gives,
[tex]C=\frac{F-32}{1.8}[/tex]
Plug in 16 for [tex]F[/tex] and solve for [tex]C[/tex]. This gives,
[tex]C=\frac{16-32}{1.8}=\frac{-16}{1.8}=-8.89[/tex]
Therefore, 16 °F is equal to -8.89 °C.
