    • To convert Fahrenheit temperatures into Celsius:
    - Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit number.
    - Divide the answer by 9.
    - Then multiply that answer by 5.

    Here's an example: Change 95 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius: 95 minus 32 is 63. Then, 63 divided by 9 is 7. Finally, 7 times 5 is 35 degrees Celsius.

    • To convert Celsius temperatures into Fahrenheit:
    - Begin by multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9.
    - Divide the answer by 5.
    - Now add 32.

    Here's an example: Change 20 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit: 20 times 9 is 180. Then 180 divided by 5 is 36. Finally, 36 plus 32 is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

    • Using an Algebraic Formula:
    Here is the algebraic formula used for conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius:

    - Tc=(5/9)*(Tf-32)
    Tc=temperature in degrees Celsius Tf=temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

    Now, to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit,:

    - Tf=(9/5)*Tc+32
    Tc=temperature in degrees Celsius Tf=temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
