To convert Fahrenheit temperatures into Celsius:
Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit number.
Divide the answer by 9.
Then multiply that answer by 5.
Here's an example: Change 95 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius: 95 minus 32 is 63.
Then, 63 divided by 9 is 7. Finally, 7 times 5 is 35 degrees Celsius. Time to
go to the beach!
To convert Celsius temperatures into Fahrenheit:
Begin by multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9.
Divide the answer by 5.
Now add 32.
Here's an example: Change 20 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit: 20 times 9 is 180.
Then 180 divided by 5 is 36. Finally, 36 plus 32 is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. That
would be a pretty comfortable outside temperature for taking a walk!!
Using an Algebraic Formula:
For the mathematically daring, here is the algebraic formula used for conversion
from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
Tc=(5/9)*(Tf-32)
Tc=temperature in degrees Celsius Tf=temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
* means multiply
Now, to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit,:
Tf=(9/5)*Tc+32
Tc=temperature in degrees Celsius Tf=temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
