Question

Convert 37 F to degrees Celsius

Answer 1

So 37 F = 2.7778 C, for simplicity just round it to 2.78 C

Answer 2

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you have to do:

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

Put in the number(s) into the formula:

$C\° = (37\° - 32\°) \times \frac{5}{9}$

Subtract:

$37\°-32\° = 5\°$

Now multiply by $\frac{5}{9}$

$5 \times \frac{5}{9} =\frac{25}{9} = 2 \frac{7}{9} \° \rightarrow 2.7778 \° = 2.8 \°$

Your answer is 2.7778° ⇔  2.8° ⇔ 2 7/9°
