5° F to C: Converting 5° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 5° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 5° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 5° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
5
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (5 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 5 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
−
27
×

C = -27 × \frac{5}{9}
C = − 27 × 9 5
C
=
−

=
−
15
C = -27 × \frac{5}{9} = -15
C = − 27 × 9 5 = − 15
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
−
15
C = -15
C = − 15
So:
5° Fahrenheit = -15° Celsius
