While working in science lab, you record a temperature of 149^circ F. You must convert this temperature to degrees Celsius. Fahrenheit is (9)/(5) the amount of Celsius with an additional 32 degrees. What is the equivalent in Celsius of 149^circ F 65 degrees C 101 degrees C 13 degrees C 210 degrees C

To convert the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we can use the formula:<br /><br /> = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32) \]<br /><br />where \( C \) is the temperature in Celsius and \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.<br /><br />Given that the temperature in Fahrenheit is \( 149^{\circ}F \), we can substitute this value into the formula:<br /><br />\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (149 - 32) \]<br /><br />Now, let's calculate the value inside the parentheses:<br /><br />\[ 149 - 32 = 117 \]<br /><br />Next, we multiply this result by \( \frac{5}{9} \):<br /><br />\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times 117 \]<br /><br />To simplify this, we can multiply 117 by 5 and then divide the result by 9:<br /><br />\[ C = \frac{5 \times 117}{9} \]<br /><br />\[ C = \frac{585}{9} \]<br /><br />Now 9:<br /><br />\[ C = 65 \]<br /><br />Therefore, the equivalent temperature in Celsius is \( 65^{\circ}C \).<br /><br />So,\[ \boxed{65 \text{ degrees C}} \]
