Expert Solution
Step 1

There are two commonly used temperature scales such as Fahrenheit and Celsius scale. Both the units are called degrees. If you see the symbol ‘F’ it is called Fahrenheit scale and symbol ‘C’ stands for the Celsius scale. Thus we can convert degree scale temperature to Celsius scale by subtracting 32 and multiplying by 5/9.
