Converting temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius is a common task in everyday life, particularly when using recipes, traveling to different countries, or understanding weather forecasts. This article provides a detailed guide to help you accurately convert 48°F to °C.
Follow these steps for a precise conversion:
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature: 48°F - 32 = 16
Multiply the result by 5/9: 16 x 5/9 = 8.89
Therefore, 48°F is equivalent to approximately 8.89°C.
To simplify future conversions, refer to the following table:
Fahrenheit (°F) | Celsius (°C) |
---|---|
48 | 8.89 |
50 | 10 |
55 | 12.78 |
60 | 15.56 |
65 | 18.33 |

1. What is the exact conversion of 48°F to °C?
Answer: 8.88888... (approximately 8.89)
2. How many Celsius degrees are in 1 Fahrenheit degree?
Answer: 5/9
3. What is the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Answer: (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9
4. How can I convert 60°F to °C?
Answer: (60 - 32) x 5/9 = 15.56
5. Is Fahrenheit used in any other countries besides the US?
Answer: Yes, a few other countries such as Belize, the Bahamas, and Palau still use Fahrenheit.
6. Why is Celsius considered the international standard?
Answer: Because it is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, which are universal constants.
7. Is it better to use Fahrenheit or Celsius for everyday use?
Answer: Celsius is generally considered more intuitive and easier to use for everyday purposes.
8. How can I remember the conversion formula easily?
Answer: Remember that Celsius is 5/9 of the way from Fahrenheit to the freezing point of water (32°F). So, to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.
