-8.89 °C

Formula and Step-by-Step

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

Start with 16°F
Subtract 32: 16 - 32 = -16
Multiply by 5/9: -16 × 0.5556 = -8.89
Result: 16°F = -8.89°C

Quick Mental Conversion

For a rough estimate, subtract 30 then halve. For example, 16 °F: minus 30 is -14, halved is -7. The exact answer is -8.89 °C.
