  1. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:

    • Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature.
    • Multiply the result by 5/9.
    • The final result is the temperature in Celsius.

    • Add 32 to the result.
    • The final result is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

    Example: Celsius=20C

    Fahrenheit = ( 20 x 9 5 ) + 32 = 68 F
