To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:
C = (F - 32) * 5/9
Where C represents degrees Celsius and F represents degrees Fahrenheit.
Let's apply this formula step by step to convert 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius:
Let's apply this formula step by step to convert 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius:
1. Start with the given Fahrenheit temperature, which is 100.6 degrees.
2. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature: 100.6 - 32 = 68.6.
3. Multiply the result by 5/9 to convert to Celsius: 68.6 * 5/9.
To perform the multiplication, you can either convert 5/9 to a decimal or do the multiplication as a fraction:
As a decimal:
5/9 is approximately equal to 0.5556 (rounded to four decimal places).
So, 68.6 * 0.5556 = 38.12256.
As a fraction:
Multiply 68.6 by 5 to get 343, then divide by 9.
343 / 9 = 38.1111...
In both cases, when rounded to two decimal places, the result is approximately 38.11 degrees Celsius.
Therefore, 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 38.11 degrees Celsius when rounded to two decimal places.
