When converting °F to °C: (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C)

This is because water freezes at 0o C and boils at 100o C which is a difference of 100o. Water freezes at 32o F and boils at 212o F which is a difference of 180o. Thus, each degree on the Fahrenheit scale is equal to 100/180 or 5/9 degrees on the Celsius scale.

So for your problem...what is 102.0 Fahrenheit in Celsius...you fill in the equation:

(102.0 - 32) X 5/9 = 38.888888888888

The answer is 38.89 °C

Note:(the 8 repeats itself)
