The Fahrenheit temperature of Phoenix has never exceeded 122 degrees. How would you describe this using Celsius temperature?
Formula: F+=+%289%2F5%29+C+%2B+32
given: F+%3C=122
+%289%2F5%29+C+%2B+32%3C=122+.........solve for C
+%289%2F5%29+C%3C=+122-32+
+%289%2F5%29+C+%3C=90+
+C++%3C=90%2F%289%2F5%29+
+C%3C=+%2890%2A5%29%2F9++
+C+%3C=+%28cross%2890%2910%2A5%29%2Fcross%289%29+
+C%3C=10%2A5+++
+C%3C=+50++
The Celsius temperature of Phoenix has never exceeded 50++ degrees.
