The water boils at 100° Celsius.
Explanation:
Given that the water boils when it reaches a temperature of 212° Fahrenheit.
We need to determine the temperature in degrees Celsius.
Celsius:
The temperature in degrees Celsius can be determined using the formula,
[tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)[/tex]
To determine the temperature of 212° Fahrenheit in Celsius, let us substitute [tex]F=212[/tex] in the above formula.
Thus, we have,
[tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(212-32)[/tex]
Simplifying, we have,
[tex]C=\frac{5}{9}(180)[/tex]
[tex]C=\frac{900}{9}[/tex]
[tex]C=100^{\circ}[/tex]
Thus, the water boils at 100° Celsius.
