Answer :

To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the conversion formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Celsius} = (\text{Fahrenheit} - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} \][/tex]

Let's apply this formula to convert [tex]\( 98.6^\circ F \)[/tex] to Celsius.

1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
[tex]\[
98.6 - 32 = 66.6
\][/tex]

2. Multiply the result by [tex]\( \frac{5}{9} \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
66.6 \times \frac{5}{9} = 37.0
\][/tex]

Therefore, [tex]\( 98.6^\circ F \)[/tex] is equal to [tex]\( 37.0^\circ C \)[/tex].
