50 degrees Fahrenheit is _______ degrees Celsius.

Correct Answer:
10


to convert a temperature from fahrenheit to celsius, the formula used is: (degrees fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8. this formula is derived from the relationship between the two temperature scales, where the freezing point of water is 32 degrees fahrenheit (which is equivalent to 0 degrees celsius) and the boiling point is 212 degrees fahrenheit (equivalent to 100 degrees celsius). the difference between these two points in the fahrenheit scale (212 - 32 = 180) corresponds to 100 degrees in the celsius scale, so each degree fahrenheit is equivalent to 1/1.8 of a degree celsius.

applying this formula to convert 50 degrees fahrenheit to celsius: 1. subtract 32 from the fahrenheit temperature: 50 - 32 = 18. 2. divide the result by 1.8 to convert to celsius: 18 / 1.8 = 10.

therefore, 50 degrees fahrenheit is equivalent to 10 degrees celsius. this conversion can be verified and is consistent regardless of the method used, as long as the formula and arithmetic are correctly applied. the conversion is crucial for activities like cooking, science experiments, or any application requiring temperature measurements in different units.
