METEOROLOGIST JEFF HABY. F = 9/5*C + 32. To find the temperature both scales are equal we can use another equation and combine it with this previous equation. The equation is simply F = C. Plug in for F or C and solve. C = 9/5*C + 32. -4/5*C = 32. F = 9/5*F + 32. -4/5*F = 32. Thus, at the cold temperature of negative 40, this temperature is the same on both the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales.
In comparison, the Fahrenheit scale has the same difference set at 180 units. Hence, the Celsius scale is just easier to use. In addition, Celsius and Kelvin (another commonly used scale, especially by scientists) have the same unit size, with the difference between scales set at 273 units. In simpler terms, absolute temperature where life seizes to exist is given as -273 degrees Celsius or 0 K. Weâve answered 319,768 questions.
