Temperature conversion

Changing temp measurements from one scale to another

Two most common temperature scales

Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F)

Formula: °C to °F

°F=(°C×1.8)+32°F = (°C \times 1.8) + 32

Formula: °F to °C

°C=(°F−32)÷1.8°C = (°F - 32) \div 1.8

Water freezing point in °C and °F

0°C = 32°F

°F vs °C values for same temperature

°F values are always much larger

30°C in Fahrenheit

86°F

50°F in Celsius

10°C

Exam tip: First step in conversion calculation

Always write down the formula first

Common mistake when converting temps

Forgetting to add or subtract 32
