Fahrenheit to Celsius Converter
Conversion Steps for:
100.2 Fahrenheit to Celsius
The following is a step by step solution to convert temperature of 100.2 fahrenheit to celsius.
Formula:
The formula to convert temperature from fahrenheit to celsius is:
Temperature(celsius) = (Temperature(fahrenheit) - 32) × 5 / 9
Problem at hand:
We need to convert given temperature of 100.2 fahrenheit to celsius.
Given:
The given temperature value is
Temperature(Fahrenheit) = 100.2
Substitution:
Substitute Temperature(fahrenheit) = 100.2 in the conversion formula.
Temperature(celsius) = (Temperature(fahrenheit) - 32) × 5 / 9
Temperature(celsius) = (100.2 - 32) × 5 / 9
Simplification:
Solving the right-hand side value.
Temperature(Celsius) = 37.8889
Conclusion:
Therefore, given temperature of 100.2 fahrenheit is equal to 37.8889 celsius.
Explaining the Formula to Convert Temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius
Temperature(celsius) = (Temperature(fahrenheit) - 32) × 5 / 9
The Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales measure temperature a little differently.
- Fahrenheit: This scale is created by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. This scale sets water to freeze at 32°F and boil at 212°F. The gap between freezing and boiling is 180 degrees.
- Celsius: This scale is named after Anders Celsius. This scale sets water to freeze at 0°C and boil at 100°C. There is a 100-degree gap between these two points.
This is why we subtract 32 from a Fahrenheit value before, and then multiply it with the 5/9 ratio to convert it to celsius scale.
