The formula for converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius is C = 5/9(F - 32°). This is because the freezing point of water is 32°F and the boiling point of water is 212°F, which is a range of 180 degrees. In Celsius, the freezing point of water is 0°C and the boiling point is 100°C, which is a range of 100 degrees. To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you must first subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply the result by 5/9.
