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.
The Fahrenheit scale is defined so that the Fahrenheit temperature is 32 more than 1.8 times the Celsius temperature. Combining this with the information above about the Celsius scale yields the two defining points absolute zero at â459.67 and the triple point of water at +32.018.
