Math Problem Statement

The temperature in some region of Alaska equals 14°F. Convert this temperature to Celsius.

Solution

The task requires converting 14F14^\circ \text{F} (Fahrenheit) to Celsius. Here's the formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:

C=59×(F32)C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32)

Substituting F=14FF = 14^\circ \text{F}:

C=59×(1432)C = \frac{5}{9} \times (14 - 32) C=59×(18)C = \frac{5}{9} \times (-18) C10.0CC \approx -10.0^\circ \text{C}

Thus, 14F14^\circ \text{F} is approximately 10.0C-10.0^\circ \text{C}.
