To convert from degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius (°C), you can use the following formula:
° C = 9 5 ( ° F − 32 )
Let's use this formula to convert 52 °F to °C:
Subtract 32 from 52:
52 − 32 = 20
Now, multiply the result by 9 5 :
[
°C = \frac{5}{9} \times 20 = \frac{100}{9} \approx 11.11 ]
Therefore, 52 °F is approximately equal to 11.11 °C.
