85° F to C: Converting 85° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 85° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 85° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 85° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
85
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (85 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 85 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
53
×
5
9
C = 53 × \frac{5}{9}
C = 53 × 9 5
C
=
53
×
5
9
=
29.444
C = 53 × \frac{5}{9} = 29.444
C = 53 × 9 5 = 29.444
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
29.444
C = 29.444
C = 29.444
So:
85° Fahrenheit = 29.444° Celsius
