Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius...?

Question

does anyone know what the formula is used to convert fahrenheit to celsius and celsius to fahrenheit?

thanks! = D

Answer 1

All those answers are of course mathematically correct, but you know the easiest way to do a conversion?  Just type it into a Google search, like "41 F to C", the top result will be your answer.

Google automatically does many other conversions, just type in an obvious query.

Answer 2

(°F - 32) / 1.8 = °C.

(°C x 1.8) + 32 = °F.

Example: -40°C = -40°F.

(The only point on each scale that °F and °C are the same).

Proof:

(-40°C x 1.8) + 32 = -72 + 32 = -40°F.

(-40°F - 32) / 1.8 = -72 / 1.8 = -40°C.

(The ability to perform conversion and other calculations oneself is necessary. 'Google' or other web-site may not be available when required (as in a school exam).

This ability also gives great self-satisfaction).

Answer 3

Take the Fahrenheit number. Say 70 degrees.subtract 32degrees, then divide by 1.8 that will equal degrees celsius.    or c=f-32/1.8        to get fahrenheit from celsius  F=1.8c+32.

Answer 4

Fahrenheit to Celsius:

Subtract 32

Divide by 9

Multiply by 5

Celsius to Fahrenheit:

Multiply by 9

Divide by 5

Add 32

Answer 5

9/5+32 degrees of celsius= fahrenheit
