Answer:

42.8°C

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from degrees centigrade to degrees fahrenheit, we use this formula;

(C × [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex]) + 32

Where C is the temperature in degrees centigrade.

So,

(C × [tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex]) + 32 = 109°F

[tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex]C = 109 - 32

[tex]\frac{9}{5}[/tex]C = 77

C = 77 × [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex] = 42.77777778°C

It equals 42.8°C (rounded up to nearest tenth of a degree centigrade)
