72° F to C: Converting 72° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 72° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 72° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 72° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
72
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (72 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 72 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
40
×
5
9
C = 40 × \frac{5}{9}
C = 40 × 9 5
C
=
40
×
5
9
=
22.222
C = 40 × \frac{5}{9} = 22.222
C = 40 × 9 5 = 22.222
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
22.222
C = 22.222
C = 22.222
So:
72° Fahrenheit = 22.222° Celsius
