100.4 f to c

What is 100.4°F in Celsius?

Answer: To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:

C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32)

Where (C) is the temperature in Celsius and (F) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

Given (F = 100.4°F),

  1. First, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:

    100.4 - 32 = 68.4
  2. Next, multiply the result by (\frac{5}{9}):

    C = \frac{5}{9} \times 68.4
  3. Perform the multiplication:

    C = \frac{5 \times 68.4}{9} = \frac{342}{9} = 38

Therefore, (100.4°F) is equal to (38°C).

This conversion is essential for understanding temperature measurements in different units, especially in scientific and medical contexts where precision is crucial.
