Temperature plays a crucial role in our daily lives, influencing everything from our comfort to our health. Understanding how to convert temperatures between different scales is essential for accurate measurement and comparison. This article will focus on the conversion of 68°F (degrees Fahrenheit) to Celsius (°C), providing in-depth information, useful tables, and practical tips.
Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C) are two commonly used temperature scales. While Fahrenheit is prevalent in the United States, Celsius is widely accepted internationally. The freezing point of water is 32°F (0°C), and the boiling point is 212°F (100°C) in both scales.
To convert 68°F to Celsius, follow these steps:
Formula:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
Calculation:
°C = (68°F - 32°F) × 5/9
= 36 × 5/9
= 20°C
Therefore, 68°F is equivalent to 20°C.

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, follow these steps:
Formula:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Example:
°F = (20°C × 9/5) + 32
= 36 + 32
= 68°F
