What is the Celsius equivalent for 41 degrees Fahrenheit as listed?

• A. 7 C
• B. 4 C
• C. 5 C
• D. 0 C

Answer: (C)

Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius uses the formula C = (F − 32) × 5/9. For 41 degrees Fahrenheit, subtracting 32 gives 9, and 9 × 5/9 equals 5. So the Celsius equivalent is 5 degrees. A quick check: 32 F is 0 C, and the 9-degree Fahrenheit rise to 41 F corresponds to about 5 degrees Celsius because 1 C changes corresponds to 1.8 F changes (9 ÷ 1.8 = 5). The other options would correspond to different Fahrenheit values (for example, 0 C is 32 F, 4 C is about 39.2 F, 7 C is about 44.6 F), which is why they don’t match 41 F.
