A pharmacist needs to convert 75 degrees Fahrenheit to Centigrade for a medication guide. What is the Centigrade equivalent?

• A. 22 degrees Centigrade
• B. 24 degrees Centigrade
• C. 26 degrees Centigrade
• D. 27 degrees Centigrade

Answer: (A)

To convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade (Celsius), the formula used is: \[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32) \] In this case, you need to convert 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Plugging in the values: \[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (75 - 32) \] \[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times 43 \] \[ C = \frac{215}{9} \] \[ C \approx 23.89 \] Rounding 23.89 to the nearest whole number gives you approximately 24 degrees. This makes the correct answer for the conversion of 75 degrees Fahrenheit to Centigrade 24 degrees. The value aligns closely with the available choices provided in the question. Since 24 degrees Centigrade is the appropriate conversion result, it is the most suitable answer.

To convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade (Celsius), the formula used is:

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

In this case, you need to convert 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Plugging in the values:

[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (75 - 32) ]

[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times 43 ]

[ C = \frac{215}{9} ]

[ C \approx 23.89 ]

Rounding 23.89 to the nearest whole number gives you approximately 24 degrees. This makes the correct answer for the conversion of 75 degrees Fahrenheit to Centigrade 24 degrees.

The value aligns closely with the available choices provided in the question. Since 24 degrees Centigrade is the appropriate conversion result, it is the most suitable answer.
