Question

Sir what is the formula of converting Fahrenheit into Celsius? And plz give me one solved example?

Thank you so much

Answer 1

To convert temperatures in degrees :
Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by .5556 (or 5/9).

°C = 5⁄9(°F – 32)

Example Problem:
The average body temperature of a house cat is 101.5 °F. What is this temperature in Celsius?

Solution:
The formula needed to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

°C = 5⁄9(°F – 32)

where °F and °C are the temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius respectively.

Plug 101.5 °F into the formula

°C = 5⁄9(101.5 – 32)
°C = 5⁄9(69.5)
°C = 38.6 °C
