How Do You Convert Fahrenheit To Celsius Using A Thermometer?
People frequently need to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, which used to be known as centigrade. This is especially common when following recipes or when visiting another country. A simple formula can convert the temperature into what you are most familiar with. Take a reading of the temperature on your Fahrenheit thermometer. Record the the number on a piece of paper. Using a pen or a calculator, subtract 32 from the reading in Fahrenheit. Multiply that answer by 5/9 or 0.556. If working by hand, multiply by 5 first, then divide by 9. The result is the temperature in Celsius. Converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit is just as easy. Go backward through the steps. Take a reading in Celsius. Multiply by 9/5 or 1.8. Add 32 to the answer, and the result will be the temperature in Fahrenheit.
