To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, you can use the formula:
\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32) \]
For \(100\) degrees Fahrenheit:
\[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times (100 - 32) \] \[ C = \frac{5}{9} \times 68 \] \[ C \approx 37.78 \]
So, \(100\) degrees Fahrenheit is approximately \(37.78\) degrees Celsius.
