The melting point of ethyl alcohol is -129 F. What is the Celsius reading?

Sagot :

We are asked to convert -129 F to Celsius. To do that we will use the following formula:

[tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=\text{ reading in Celsius} \\ F=\text{ reading in Fahrenheit} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we plug in the reading in Fahrenheit:

[tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(-129-32)[/tex]

Solving the operations:

[tex]C=-89.44\text{Celsius}[/tex]

Therefore, the Celsius reading is -89.44°C.
