56ºF is equal to what in Celsius?

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, the formula used is:

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

In this equation, (F) represents the temperature in Fahrenheit, and (C) represents the temperature in Celsius.

For 56ºF, you would first subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:

[ 56 - 32 = 24 ]

Next, you multiply the result by (\frac{5}{9}):

[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times 24 = \frac{120}{9} \approx 13.3 ]

Hence, 56ºF converts to approximately 13.3ºC, making it the correct answer. This value aligns with the understanding that temperatures below freezing (32ºF or 0ºC) are lower in Celsius, while values above are in proportion to the conversion factor used. The other options represent incorrect conversions that do not align with the proper formula application for Fahrenheit to Celsius transformation.
