12° F to C: Converting 12° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 12° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 12° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 12° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
12
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (12 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 12 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
−
20
×

9
C = -20 × \frac{5}{9}
C = − 20 × 9 5
C
=

=
−
11.111
C = -20 × \frac{5}{9} = -11.111
C = − 20 × 9 5 = − 11.111
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
−
11.111
C = -11.111
C = − 11.111
So:
12° Fahrenheit = -11.111° Celsius
