118.45 Fahrenheit to Celsius - Temperature Conversion

118.45 degrees Fahrenheit equals:

48.027777777778 degrees Celsius

How to Convert 118.45 Fahrenheit to Celsius

To convert from 118.45 Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the following formula and calculation:

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

°C = (118.45 - 32) × 5/9

°C = 86.45 × 5/9

°C = 48.027777777778

Answer :

118.45° f = 48.027777777778° c

Understanding the Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion

The Fahrenheit scale is where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F at standard atmospheric pressure.

The Celsius scale is based on the freezing and boiling points of water, with freezing set at 0°C and boiling at 100°C at standard atmospheric pressure.
