Fahrenheit may be converted to Celsius by using the equation
- degrees C = 5/9 * ( degrees F - 32).
- degrees C = 5/9 * ( degrees F + 32).
- degrees C = 9/5 * ( degrees F - 32).
Explanation
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius you first remove the 32-degree offset, then scale by 5/9 because a Celsius degree is larger than a Fahrenheit degree. Adding 32 instead of subtracting, or using 9/5, would give the reverse or wrongly scaled result.
jimzene asking:
How? F=9/5×C+32 and C=1/9×(F-32)
