convert 212° F to Celsius

Answer 1

To convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius (°C), you can use the following formula:

\[ °C = \frac{(°F - 32) \times 5}{9} \]

For 212°F, the conversion would be:

\[ °C = \frac{(212 - 32) \times 5}{9} \]

Now, calculate it step by step:

1. Subtract 32 from 212: \[ 212 - 32 = 180 \]

2. Multiply by 5: \[ 180 \times 5 = 900 \]

3. Divide by 9: \[ \frac{900}{9} = 100 \]

So, 212°F is equal to 100°C.
