Convert 285 ºF to ºC

Then to convert 285 degrees fahrenheit to degrees celsius, we have as a result:

Definition of degrees celsius

The degree Celsius (historically known as centigrade; symbol °C) is the unit termométrica whose 0 is located to be 0.01 degree below the triple point of water and its intensity calorie equals that of kelvin.

Definition of degrees fahrenheit

The degree fahrenheit is the unit of temperature,proposed by Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, whose fixed scale, the zero and one hundred in freezing temperatures and evaporation of ammonium chloride in water. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees, and boiling is 212 degrees. This scale is currently used in some anglo-saxon countries, especially the united States.

Calculate how much are 285 degrees fahrenheit in degrees celsius

To know how to convert 285 ºF to ºC (degrees fahrenheit to degrees celsius) we have performed the following calculation:

(285 - 32) x 5/9 = 140.55555555556

Where: We subtract the value of 285 ºF the amount of 32, then multiply the result by 5, finally divide this last between 9, giving as the final result 140.55555555556 ºC
