This video tutorial explains how to convert temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius. It begins by introducing the concept of temperature conversion and the freezing point of water in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. The tutorial then demonstrates how to use the formula C = 5/9 * (F - 32) to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, using the freezing point of water as an example. The process is broken down step-by-step, following the order of operations, to show that 32 degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to 0 degrees Celsius. The lesson concludes with a summary of the conversion process.
