Deg C vs Deg F?

Question

If 1degC is 33.8Deg F
Then why isnt double of 1DegC ie 2Deg C double of 33.8Deg F.

This is the conversion:
1 C ...........33.8 F
2 C ...........35.6 F
But surely if double of one is two then double of 33.8 should be 67.6?

Answer 1

celsius and fahrenheit do not scale proportionally.

to convert C to F, multiply by (9/5) and add 32.0.

similarly to convert F to C, subtract 32.0 then multiply by 5/9.

the scales are only proportional by the factor of 5/9 or 9/5 if the constant of 32 is removed, this is because Mr Fahrenheit fixed the freezing point of water at 32F instead of 0F. peculiar guy. i guess thats why the rest of the world follows Mr Celsius.

Answer 2

No - this is not such a simple conversion. The reason is due to what each standard counts as 0 degrees.

To convert from deg C to deg F
deg C x 9/5 + 32

To convert from deg F to deg C
deg F - 32 x 5/9

Answer 3

There is one formula to convert Deg C to Deg F and vice a versa.
The formula is
Deg C = (5/9) * (Deg F - 32).

That is why 1 Deg C = 33.8 Deg F, but
2 Deg C = 35.6,
3 Deg C = 37.4 and on.......

Deg C and Deg F can also be converted into Deg K,
Formula is
Deg K = Deg C + 273.15

1 Deg K = 274.15 Deg C
2 Deg K = 275.15 Deg C
and on.....

Answer 5

The relation between Centigade and Farenheit is given by the formula -
C = F - 32 * 5/9

Answer 6

C = (5/9) * (F - 32)
F=1.8C+32
Use these formulae

Answer 7

Everyone else has explained the calculation superbly, but this reminds me of something I hear and abhor: "Oh, that's twice as hot as it was yesterday!" when the temperature goes from 10degC to 20degC. No! It may be true using the Kelvin scale, but not with any other.
