Answer

32.2 C

Work Step by Step

Here we need to convert a Fahrenheit temperature to its equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale. $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32)$, where F = Fahrenheit temperature and C = Celsius temperature. F = 90 $C=\frac{5}{9}(F-32) = \frac{5}{9}(90-32) = \frac{5}{9}(58) = 290\div9 = 32.22$ For F = 90, C = 32.2
