Understanding Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion
Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) are two common temperature scales. Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States, while Celsius is used in most other countries and in scientific contexts worldwide.
Conversion Formula: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
Example: Let's convert 68°F to Celsius:
- Subtract 32 from Fahrenheit: 68 - 32 = 36
- Multiply the result by 5/9: 36 × 5/9 = 20
- So, 68°F is equal to 20°C.
This tool simplifies this process, providing quick and accurate conversions for your convenience. Whether for cooking, weather updates, or scientific purposes, understanding temperature conversions is essential.
