To convert 87 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius (°C), you can use the following formula:

$$
°C = (°F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9}
$$

**Step-by-Step Calculation:**

1. **Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:**
   $$
   87 - 32 = 55
   $$

2. **Multiply the result by 5:**
   $$
   55 \times 5 = 275
   $$

3. **Divide by 9:**
   $$
   \frac{275}{9} \approx 30.555\ldots
   $$

Rounding to one decimal place, the temperature in Celsius is approximately **30.5°C**.

**Correct Answer:**
  
**(C) 30.5 degrees $$ C $$**
The temperature in Celsius is 30.5 degrees $$ C $$.

Convert 87 degrees Fahrenheit into the corresponding temperature in degrees Centigrade: (A) 188 degrees \( C \) (B) 99 degrees \( C \) (C) 30.5 degrees \( C \) (D) 28.5 degrees \( C \)
