#0^@#C

The following equations can be used to convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius: T(°C) can be expressed as (T(°F) - 32) × 5/9, (T(°F) - 32) / (9/5), or (T(°C) - 32) / 1.8. This link will convert temperature between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Several typical ones are as follows: #0^@C=32^@F# #100^@C=212^@F# #-40^@C=-40^@F#

The temperature is #0^oC# The freezing point of water in # F^o#is 32 The freezing point of water in #C^o# is 0 The boiling point of water in #F^o# is 212 #F^o# There is a difference of 180 #F^o# The boiling point of water in #C^o# is 100 #C^o# There is a difference of 100 #C^o# This makes for a ratio of #180 F^o/ 100 C^o# or # 9 F^o/ 5 C^o# To Convert from degrees F to degree C. Subtract 32 the difference between the starting points of F and C. Then multiple by the ratio of # 5 C^o / 9 F^o# so # 32-32 xx 5/9 # = 0 #C^o#

Xavier Avery · Answer

undefined The temperature in degrees Celsius can be calculated using the formula: $ C = (F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} $. Plugging in the given temperature of 32°F, we get $ C = (32 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} $, which equals $ 0 $°C. Therefore, the temperature in degrees Celsius is $ 0 $°C.
