Convert 80 Fahrenheit to Celsius using mathematical calculations

Are you stuck with temperature conversion and don’t know how to convert 80 Fahrenheit to Celsius? We will back you. It's a piece of cake. You can easily convert 80 degrees f to c by using a simple formula. We will guide you step by step on how you can convert any number from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa. 

Formula to Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius

Fahrenheit and Celsius are units to measure the temperature and are represented by °F and °C respectively. Celsius is an international unit of temperature while Fahrenheit is mostly used as a unit of temperature in the United States.

The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is;

C=59(F32)C = \frac{5}{9} (F - 32)

Where C represents temperature in Celsius degrees and F represents Fahrenheit degrees.

Converting 80 Degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius Using Formula  

 Let’s convert 80 Degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius by using the formula. It involves four easy steps.

1. Replace F with 80 in the formula.

C=59(8032)C = \frac{5}{9} (80 - 32)

2. Subtract 32 from 80

C=59(48)C = \frac{5}{9} ( 48 )

3. Multiply 48 with 5

5×48=2405 \times 48 = 240

4. Divide 240 by 9

C=240÷9C = 240 \div 9
C=26.67C = 26.67

So, on converting 80 f to Celsius, we get 26.67 °C

It means that 80 degrees Fahrenheit temperature is equal to 26.7 degrees Celsius.

Converting 80 Degrees F to C With Shortcut Method 

The exact value of converting 80 Degrees F to C is obtained by using the standard formula. It is important to use this formula if students are taking examinations or tests. 

However, if you intend to find the temperature while traveling, you can use the shortcut method. This method does not give the exact value but helps you to get an approximate value that is nearer to the actual value. It is also known as the Approximation Formula. It follows a simple method.

  • Subtract 30 from the value of Fahrenheit temperature and divide it by 2. 

For example, if you want to convert 80 degrees Fahrenheit to Celcius, just follow these steps;

1. Subtract 30 from 80

8030=5080 - 30 = 50

2. Divide it by 2

50÷2=2550 \div 2 = 25

So, on converting Fahrenheit 80 to Celsius using a shortcut or Approximation Formula, we get 25 nearer to the exact answer which is 26.67.
