Fahrenheit to Celsius
Please provide values below to convert Fahrenheit [°F] to Celsius [°C], or change ↔.
Fahrenheit [°F]
Definition: The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale where the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point is 212 degrees Fahrenheit at standard atmospheric pressure.
Historyandorigin: It was introduced by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. The scale was originally based on a mixture of ice, water, and salt.
CurrentUse: It is primarily used in the United States for everyday temperature measurements.
funfact: The Fahrenheit scale was designed so that the temperature range between the freezing and boiling points of water is divided into 180 degrees.
Celsius [°C]
Definition: The Celsius scale is a temperature scale where the freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
Historyandorigin: It was introduced by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742. Originally, 0°C was the boiling point and 100°C was the freezing point, but it was later reversed.
CurrentUse: It is widely used in everyday contexts and scientific measurements in most countries.
funfact: The Celsius scale is also known as the centigrade scale because it is based on a 100-degree interval between the freezing and boiling points of water.

How to Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
1 Fahrenheit [°F] = -17.222222222 Celsius [°C]
1 Celsius [°C] = 33.8 Fahrenheit [°F]
we use cross multiplication method
Fahrenheit [°F] → Celsius [°C]
1 → -17.222222222
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*-17.222222222=1*x
by simplifying
x=-16.944444444
