How do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value and multiply by 5/9. For example: 1) 32°F = 0°C, 2) 212°F = 100°C, 3) 98.6°F = 37°C. Our calculator handles this automatically.

What is room temperature in Celsius?

Room temperature is typically considered to be around 68-72°F (20-22°C). This is the temperature range most people find comfortable for indoor environments.

Why do we use different temperature scales?

Different temperature scales are used because: 1) Fahrenheit is common in the US and some other countries, 2) Celsius is used scientifically and in most other countries, 3) Historical development led to different standards, 4) Each scale has specific reference points (water freezing/boiling).

What are some common Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions?

Common Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions include: 1) 32°F = 0°C (freezing point of water), 2) 212°F = 100°C (boiling point of water), 3) 98.6°F = 37°C (normal body temperature), 4) 68°F = 20°C (room temperature).
