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.
A degree in Celsius is 1.8 times as large an interval as a degree in Fahrenheit. So changes in temperature will be 1.8 times as large on the Fahrenheit scale than on the Celsius scale. Explanation In Fahrenheit, freezing is 32Â° and boiling is 212Â° so there are 180 degrees in between. In the Celsius system there are only 100 (larger) degrees between those marks, so the ratio is 180/100 or 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees = 1 Celsius degree. Example : Water freezes at 0 Â°C, which is the same as 32 Â°F. If the water temperature is raised by 10 degrees to 10Â° C, the Fahrenheit scale will indicate a change of 18 degrees, to 50 Â°F.
