Question

The segments below show a portion of the Fahrenheit and celsius scales for measuring temperature.

41--------------------------50

5----------------------------10

a. how many degrees fahrenheit are equivalent to 1 celcuis degree?

b. how many degrees celcius are equivalent to 1 farenheit degree?

Answer 1

You have ten degrees Fahrenheit (41-50 inclusive).  You have six degrees Celsius (5-10 inclusive).  According to this, 10/6, or 1.666 degrees F equals one degree C.  And, 6/10 degrees, or 0.6 degrees C equals one degree F.

If you reduce the top scale to 9 and the bottom scale to 5, then you see where the 9/5 and 5/9 come in the translation formulas.

Answer 2

Pull out your cell phone and do the conversions there.

Answer 3

if you are asking if 1 degree F equals -17.222 degrees C and if 1degree C equals 33.8 degrees F then there you go. If not, whatever.
