Conversion Steps for:
98 Fahrenheit to Celsius

The following is a step by step solution to convert temperature of 98 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 98 fahrenheit to celsius.

Given:

The given temperature value is

Temperature(Fahrenheit) = 98

Substitution:

Substitute Temperature(fahrenheit) = 98 in the conversion formula.

Temperature(celsius) = (Temperature(fahrenheit) - 32) × 5 / 9

Temperature(celsius) = (98 - 32) × 5 / 9

Simplification:

Solving the right-hand side value.

Temperature(Celsius) = 36.6667

Conclusion:

Therefore, given temperature of 98 fahrenheit is equal to 36.6667 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.
