Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiply by 5/9. So, the conversion would be ((-180-32)*5/9) = -117.78°C, which rounded to the nearest hundredth is -117.78°C. Option A is incorrect because it is a larger number and Option C and D are also incorrect because they are not close to the correct answer. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and then multiply by 5/9.

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9
Celsius = (-180 - 32) x 5/9
Celsius = -212 x 5/9
Celsius = -117.78 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, the answer is B, -117.78°C.
