The Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) is:
C=(F−32)×95
Where:
- CC is the temperature in Celsius.
- FF is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Substituting the Fahrenheit Temperature
We are given that the temperature is 103°F. So, we substitute F=103F = 103 into the formula:
C=(103−32)×95
Simplifying Inside the Parentheses
First, subtract 32 from 103:
103−32=71
Now, the equation becomes:
C=71×95
Multiplying by 59\frac{5}{9}
Next, multiply 71 by 59\frac{5}{9}:
71×95=971×5=9355
Dividing the Result
Now, divide 355 by 9:
9355≈39.44
Final Result:
So, 10 3 ∘ F 103 ∘ F is approximately 39.4 4 ∘ C 39.44 ∘ C.
Conclusion:
The temperature of 103°F is approximately 39.44°C.
