Solution

To convert temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the formula:

C = (F - 32) * 5/9

Where: C = temperature in Celsius F = temperature in Fahrenheit

Given that the temperature in Fahrenheit (F) is 140 degrees, we can substitute this into the formula:

C = (140 - 32) * 5/9 C = 108 * 5/9 C = 60 degrees Celsius

So, the temperature registered by the Celsius thermometer will be 60 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) 60 oC.
