To convert 102°F (Fahrenheit) to Celsius, you can use the following formula:
C = (F−32) × 5/9
Where:
- CC is the temperature in Celsius.
- FF is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Step 1: Start with the given Fahrenheit temperature
In this case, the temperature is 102°F.
Step 2: Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature
Step 3: Multiply the result by 5/9
70 × 5/9 = 50/90 = 38.89
Step 4: Conclusion
102°F is approximately 38.89°C.
This means that a fever of 102°F corresponds to about 38.89°C in Celsius, which is considered a high fever.
