Fahrenheit Celsius Conversion Formula-

C = (5/9)(F-32), conversion from F to C

F = (9/5)C + 32, conversion from C to F

Temperature Scales
The degree Fahrenheit (°F) is a unit of temperature named for the german physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit. In the Fahrenheit scale of temperature the freezing point of water is 32 degrees and the boiling point is 212 degrees placing the boiling and melting points of water 180 degrees apart. Zero degrees Fahrenheit indicates the lowest temperature Fahrenheit could obtain by a mixture of ice and salt.

The degree Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature named for the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744) who first proposed it. The Celsius temperature scale was designed so that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure. Since there are one hundred steps between these two reference points the original term for this system was Centigrade (100 parts).

Here is the easy way.
Add 40.
Multiply by 9/5 if you are converting C to F. Multiply by 5/9 if you are converting F to C
Subtract 40

That's it.
Example: 100C=?F
(100 + 40)9/5 -40, =140x9/5, -40,=252-40, =212

Without boring you, this rule is based on the fact that
at -40, C=F
I find it a lot easier than the traditional rules!

Multiply the Celcius by nine (Multipy by ten then take one off).
Now dide by five (Same as multiplying by 2 and moving the decimal.
Add 32.

So 17 C becomes 10 x 17 - 17 = 170 - 17 =153.
Now divide by five by 2 x 153 = 306
Move the decimal point back to give 30.6
Add 32 to give 62.6 F

multiply celcius by 9 then divide by 5 and then add 32 and that will produce the tempreture in fahrenheit

100° C<----->180°F
1 ° C<----> (180 / 100)° F = (9 / 5)° F
Let centigrade temperature be C which is C degrees above freezing.
Fahrenheit temperature = 32 + (9/5) C
Example
100° C = 32 + (9/5) x (100) = 32 +180 = 212 °F

F = (9/5) C + 32

RE: What is the formula to convert kelvin to Celcius and Fahrenheit? I need the formula to convert kelvin to Celcius and kelvin to fahrenheit.

I like this symmetrical conversion, based on the fact that
-40degC = -40degF:

Add 40.
Multiply by 5/9 to convert from F to C, or by 9/5 to convert from C to F.
Subtract 40.

2007-07-21 07:46:37 · answer #9 · answered by Anonymous · 0 0

C-F times by 2 and add 30
F-C tanke away 30 and divide by 2



So 28c is 56 + 28 = 84 and the actual answer is 82.4

So 35c is 70 + 28 = 98 and the actual answer is 95

its close enough
