To convert 56 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:
\[ T(°C) = (T(°F) - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} \]
Let's break down the steps:
1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value:
\[ 56 - 32 = 24 \]
2. Multiply the result by 5:
\[ 24 \times 5 = 120 \]
3. Divide by 9 to get the Celsius value:
\[ 120 \div 9 \approx 13.33 \]
So, 56 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to approximately 13.33 degrees Celsius[1][3].
This conversion is vital when comparing temperature measurements from countries using the Fahrenheit scale, such as the United States, with most of the world that uses the Celsius scale.
