How to Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius helps understand temperature in the metric system. The formula is (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C.
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiply by 5/9. For example, (77°F - 32) x 5/9 = 25°C. This conversion is essential when traveling internationally or reading scientific data.
Most countries use Celsius, so understanding this conversion helps with weather forecasts, cooking temperatures, and scientific measurements worldwide.
