To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:
\[C = (F - 32) \times \dfrac{5}{9}\]
Given that the Fahrenheit value is 212 °F, you can substitute this into the formula:
\[C = (212 - 32) \times \dfrac{5}{9}\]
\[C = 180 \times \dfrac{5}{9}\]
\[C = 100\]
Therefore, the Celsius value for 212 °F is 100 °C.
