Key Points
-
The standard formula to convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius is:
°F=(95×°C)+32 °F=(95×°C)+32 °F=(95×°C)+32°C=(59×(°F−32)) °C=(59×(°F−32)) °C=(59×(°F−32)) -
Explanation:
-
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then add 32.- Example: Convert 25°C to Fahrenheit
°F=(59×25)+32=45+32=77°F
°F=(95×25)+32=45+32=77°F °F=(95×25)+32=45+32=77°F °F=(95×25)+32=45+32=77°F °F = \left( \frac{9}{5} \times 25 \right) + 32 = 45 + 32 = 77°F
- Example: Convert 25°C to Fahrenheit
-
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and then multiply by 5/9.- Example: Convert 77°F to Celsius
°C=(95×(77−32))=(95×45)=25°C
°C=(59×(77−32))=(59×45)=25°C °C=(59×(77−32))=(59×45)=25°C °C=(59×(77−32))=(59×45)=25°C °C = \left( \frac{5}{9} \times (77 - 32) \right) = \left( \frac{5}{9} \times 45 \right) = 25°C
- Example: Convert 77°F to Celsius
- Thus, the correct formula is:
- °F = (9/5 × °C) + 32
- °C = (5/9) × (°F - 32)
