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.
Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is 1â180 of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are 100 degrees apart. A temperature interval of 1 Â°F is equal to an interval of 5â9 degrees Celsius. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales intersect at â40Â° (â40 Â°F and â40 Â°C represent the same temperature). Absolute zero is â273.15 Â°C or â459.67 Â°F. The Rankine temperature scale uses degree intervals of the same size as those of the Fahrenheit scale, except that absolute zero is 0 Râthe same way that the Kelvin temperature scale matches the Celsius scale, except that absolute zero is 0 K.
