What is the Celsius equivalent of 61 degrees Fahrenheit?

• A. 8 degrees C
• B. 16 degrees C
• C. 24 degrees C
• D. 32 degrees C

Answer: (B)

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula: \[ C = \frac{(F - 32) \times 5}{9} \] In this case, substituting 61 degrees Fahrenheit into the formula gives: \[ C = \frac{(61 - 32) \times 5}{9} \] \[ C = \frac{29 \times 5}{9} \] \[ C = \frac{145}{9} \] \[ C \approx 16.11 \] Rounding this value leads us to a Celsius equivalent of approximately 16 degrees. Thus, the answer aligns with the standard conversion process and is consistent with common thermometric conversions. This makes 16 degrees Celsius the correct equivalent for 61 degrees Fahrenheit.

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, substituting 61 degrees Fahrenheit into the formula gives:

[ C = \frac{(61 - 32) \times 5}{9} ]

[ C = \frac{29 \times 5}{9} ]

[ C = \frac{145}{9} ]

[ C \approx 16.11 ]

Rounding this value leads us to a Celsius equivalent of approximately 16 degrees. Thus, the answer aligns with the standard conversion process and is consistent with common thermometric conversions. This makes 16 degrees Celsius the correct equivalent for 61 degrees Fahrenheit.
