What temperature on the Fahrenheit scale is 28 degrees below freezing?
Use the formula (°F-32)÷1.8 to convert that temperature to the Celsius scale.
:
The formula, that I was taught: C = 5%2F9(F - 32)
C = 5%2F9(-28 - 32)
c = 5%2F9(-60)
Cancel 3 into 9 and 60
C + 5%2F3(-20)
C = -100%2F3
C = -33.33 or 33.33 degrees below zero
