101.8 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale measurement used in the United States. It is commonly used alongside the Celsius temperature scale. Unlike the Celsius scale, which is based on an absolute scale, the Fahrenheit scale uses a simpler temperature interval between the freezing point (32°F) and boiling point (212°F) of water to define degrees. This scale was initially developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.
To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:
C (°Celsius) = (F (°Fahrenheit) – 32) × (5/9)
Converting 101.8°F to Celsius:
C = (101.8°F – 32) × (5/9)
C = (69.8°F) × (5/9)
C = 38.78°C
Therefore, 101.8°F is equivalent to 38.78°C.
