Formulas:
To covert Fahrenheit to Celsius:
1. Start with your Fahrenheit temperature.
2. Subtract 32 from Fahrenheit number.
3. Divide the answer by 9.
4. Multiply that answer by 5.
5. Round off your answer to the tenths place, if necessary.
Example:
1. 75 degrees Fahrenheit
2. 75 − 32 = 43
3. 43 ÷ 9 = 4.77…
4. 4.77… × 5 = 23.88…
5. So, 75 degrees F ≈ 23.9 degrees C.
