38° F to C: Converting 38° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 38° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 38° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 38° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
38
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (38 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 38 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
6
×
5
9
C = 6 × \frac{5}{9}
C = 6 × 9 5
C
=
6
×
5
9
=
3.333
C = 6 × \frac{5}{9} = 3.333
C = 6 × 9 5 = 3.333
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
3.333
C = 3.333
C = 3.333
So:
38° Fahrenheit = 3.333° Celsius
