40° F to C: Converting 40° Fahrenheit to Celsius
Methods
Converting 40° F to C Mathematically
There is a specific formula to use when converting 40° Celsius to Fahrenheit:
C
=
(
F
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (F - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( F − 32 ) × 9 5
So, to convert 40° F to C, we will want to insert the Fahrenheit value into the equation:
C
=
(
40
−
32
)
×
5
9
C = (40 - 32) × \frac{5}{9}
C = ( 40 − 32 ) × 9 5
Then we can solve the equation:
C
=
8
×
5
9
C = 8 × \frac{5}{9}
C = 8 × 9 5
C
=
8
×
5
9
=
4.444
C = 8 × \frac{5}{9} = 4.444
C = 8 × 9 5 = 4.444
(If the decimal is really long, we can round to the nearest three decimal places.)
C
=
4.444
C = 4.444
C = 4.444
So:
40° Fahrenheit = 4.444° Celsius
