To convert degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) to degrees Celsius/Centrigrade (ºC), use the following formula:
Fahrenheit number - 32
| x 5 |
| 9 | |
| Example: | 68ºF - 32 | x 5 = 20ºC |
| 9 | |
To convert degrees Celsius/Centrigrade (ºC) to degrees Fahrenheit (ºF), use the following formula:
| Celsius/Centrigrade number x 9 | +32 |
| 5 | |
| Example: | 20ºC x 9 | + 32 = 68ºF |
| 5 | |
