Question

Washington, D.C. has an average January temperature of 34.9 degrees Fahrenheit. What is this average if temp is expressed in Celsius? (Round to two decimal places.)

[Hint: Conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is a linear transformation: 
Fahrenheit = Celsius*1.80 + 32, or 
Celsius = Fahrenheit*(1/1.80) - (32/1.80)]
