The Formula
To convert from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), we use this formula:
C=95×(F−32)
Where:
- C is the temperature in Celsius.
- F is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Substitute 52°F into the Formula
Now, substitute 52 for F in the formula:
C=95×(52−32)
Simplify the Expression Inside the Parentheses
First, calculate 52 – 32:
52−32=2052 – 32 = 20
Now the equation looks like this:
C=95×20
Multiply by 59\frac{5}{9}
Now, multiply 20 by 59\frac{5}{9}:
Perform the Division
Finally, divide 100 by 9:
C≈11.11
Conclusion
So, 52°F is approximately 11.11°C.
This is the detailed process of converting 52°F to Celsius.
