68° F to C: Converting 68° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 68° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 68° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 68° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
68
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (68 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 68 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
36
×
5
9
C = 36 × \frac{5}{9}
C = 36 × 9 5
C
=
36
×
5
9
=
20
C = 36 × \frac{5}{9} = 20
C = 36 × 9 5 = 20
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
20
C = 20
C = 20
So:
68° Fahrenheit = 20° Celsius
