Notice that the difference between the freezing and boiling point of water is 180 degrees in the
TEMPERATURE (°C)
symbol (*), followed immediately by either C or F (no spaces).
On the Fahrenheit scale:
O°F
32°F freezing point of water (equivalent to 0°C)
212°F boiling point of water (equivalent to 100°C)
Fahrenheit scale (32°F....212°F) but is 100 degrees in the Celsius scale (0°C..T00 C).
As with using the metric system, it is important in the sciences to learn to use and report
temperature readings using the Celsius scale since it is more universally used than the Fanrenniore
scale. The formulas used to convert between these two temperature scales are listed below.
When converting from°F to°C
°C= ('F - 32) 1.8
°C=5/9('F - 32)
-OR-
When converting from°C to°F
°F = (°C x 1.8) + 32
°F = (°C x 9/5) + 32
-OR-
Use the above equations (either the decimal or fraction form) to complete the following
conversions. Space is provided should you wish to write out your work. Place your answer
(and appropriate unit symbol) on the lines.
