How do you convert 100.6°F to Celsius?

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

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

Where:

  • ( C ) is the temperature in Celsius.
  • ( F ) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
  • The factor ( \frac{5}{9} ) adjusts for the difference in magnitude between the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.
  • Subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature accounts for the different starting points of the two scales.

Now, let’s use this formula to convert 100.6°F to Celsius:

  1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature:
100.6 - 32 = 68.6
  1. Multiply the result by ( \frac{5}{9} ):
C = \frac{5}{9} \times 68.6 = \frac{5 \times 68.6}{9} = \frac{343}{9} \approx 38.1

So, 100.6°F is approximately equal to 38.1°C.

Therefore, the conversion from 100.6°F to Celsius is \boxed{38.1^\circ C} .
