Answer and explanation;

To convert temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by or 5/9.

For example; 50° F to Celsius.

= (50°F - 32) x 5/9

= 10°C

To convert temperatures in degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 (or 9/5) and add 32.

For example: 30 °C to Fahrenheit

= (30°C x 1.8) + 32

= 86°F

Well, 1st, you need to take the Fahrenheit temperature and subtract it from 32, make sure you put it in parentheses. Then, 2nd, you multiply it by it by 5/9. Here's an example of my explanation didn't make since:
T(°C) = (68°F - 32) × 5/9 = 20 °C
And that's how you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius temperatures.
