°F = 32.0 + (9/5)°C
°C = (°F – 32.0)(5/9)
Temperature Scales
These numbers are arbitrary, and historically many different schemes have been used. For example, this was done by defining some physical occurrences at given temperatures—such as the freezing and boiling points of water — and defining them as 0 and 100 respectively.
There are several scales and units exist for measuring temperature. The most common are:
Temperature Conversion – Fahrenheit – Celsius
To convert from a Fahrenheit temperature to a Celsius temperature we have to subtract 32 degrees from the Fahrenheit reading to get to the zero point on the Celsius scale and then adjust for the different size degrees. The ratio of the size of the degrees is 5/9 so that the relationship between the scales is represented by the following equations:
°F = 32.0 + (9/5)°C
°C = (°F – 32.0)(5/9)
