What is 212 degrees Fahrenheit converted to Celsius?

To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, you can use the formula:

[ C = \frac{(F - 32) \times 5}{9} ]

In this case, substituting 212 for F:

[ C = \frac{(212 - 32) \times 5}{9} ]

First, subtract 32 from 212:

[ 212 - 32 = 180 ]

Next, multiply 180 by 5:

[ 180 \times 5 = 900 ]

Now, divide 900 by 9:

[ \frac{900}{9} = 100 ]

Thus, 212 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 100 degrees Celsius.

This conversion highlights that 212 degrees Fahrenheit is the boiling point of water, which is a widely known value. The result aligns with standard conversion practices, confirming that 100 degrees Celsius is indeed the correct and accurate representation of 212 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius.
