To convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius (°C), you can use the following formula:
°C = (°F – 32) × 5/9
For 70 degrees Fahrenheit, you can substitute 70 into the formula:
°C = (70 – 32) × 5/9
Calculating this step by step:
- First, subtract 32 from 70: 70 – 32 = 38
- Next, multiply the result by 5: 38 × 5 = 190
- Finally, divide by 9: 190 ÷ 9 ≈ 21.11
Therefore, 70 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 21.11 degrees Celsius.
This conversion is especially useful in various fields, including cooking, science, and meteorology, where temperature readings may need to be converted to different units for better understanding or compliance with local standards.
