All the answers are correct, but I thought you might like to know where those numbers came from. By knowing that, you can make the F to C transformations without memorizing a formula.

First, water freezing temp = 32 deg F = 0 deg C.

Second, temperature range between freezing and boiling is = 212 - 32 deg F = 100 - 0 deg C; so that 180 deg F is equivalent to 100 deg C range. In other words, the Fahrenheit temperature has to move 1.8 deg to be equivalent to 1.0 deg C change.

So, if when we want to know the temperature in Fahrenheit, given the temperature in Centigrade, we simply note:

F = 32 + 1.8 C; because if C = 0, then F = 32 from the first note. And from the second note 1 deg C is the equivalent in 1.8 deg F. You may notice the F equation is a straight line equation with the intercept at 32 deg F and the slope of 1.8 deg F/ 1.0 deg C.

To find C, we simply solve for it using the above relationship that we derived from the basics, which are freezing = 0 C = 32 F; and 1.8 deg F = 1.0 deg C.

F = 32 + 1.8 C
1.8 C = F - 32
C = (F - 32)/1.8 = 27/1.8 = 15 QED.

So if you have trouble remembering the equation, try remembering freezing = 0 C = 32 F; and 1.8 F = 1.0 C.

(59 - 32) x 5 / 9 = 15, so 59 degrees Fahrenheit is 15 degress Celcius

i don't know why every person could want fahrenheit, yet, in no way the less, interior the owner's instruction manual ought to be a itemizing of what mix of buttons to press whilst turning on the ignition, to alter issues like metric / imperial. probability is the technician pressed the incorrect button - maximum automobiles those days are sensible sufficient to count quantity kilometres by using fact final oil replace, and flash the "examine engine" easy if too many km pass with the aid of. whilst an oil replace is accomplished, the tech holds interior the odometer button whilst turning on the ignition to reset that counter. in the event that they pressed a distinctive button, it ought to have completed the conversion for you. you need to test with the aid of keeping one button, and turning key from off to run (not commence). If that would not artwork, turn key off, and take a examine out yet another button.

59 - 32 = 27

Then you divide by 1.8
