Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit For UTME

In other to convert degree Celsius to Fahrenheit, you will have to make use of an equation. The equation can also be used vice-versa.

There are three types of scales for measuring temperature, and they are

• The Celsius scale
• The Fahrenheit scale
• The absolute scale (Kelvin)

The lower and upper fixed point for a Celsius scale is 0^oc to 100^oc while for a Fahrenheit scale, it is 32^of and 212^of.

In order to covert, you will use c/5 = f-32/9. The c represent the value for the Celsius while the f represents the value for the Fahrenheit.

50C

c/5 = f-32/9

c = 50

substitute, 50/5 = f-32/9

10/1 = f-32/9

Cross multiply

10*9 = 1(f-32)

90 = f -32

Make f the subject of the equation

F = 90 +32 = 122

Therefore, 50c to Fahrenheit is 122^oF

30C

c/5 = f-32/9

c = 30

substitute, 30/5 = f-32/9

6/1 = f-32/9

Cross multiply

6*9 = 1(f-32)

54 = f -32

Make f the subject of the equation

F = 54 +32 = 86

Therefore, 30c to Fahrenheit is 86^oF

60C

c/5 = f-32/9

c = 60

substitute, 60/5 = f-32/9

12/1 = f-32/9

Cross multiply

12*9 = 1(f-32)

108 = f -32

Make f the subject of the equation

F = 108 +32 = 140

Therefore, 60c to Fahrenheit is 140^oF

40C

c/5 = f-32/9

c = 40

substitute, 40/5 = f-32/9

8/1 = f-32/9

Cross multiply

8*9 = 1(f-32)

72 = f -32

Make f the subject of the equation

F = 72 +32 = 104

Therefore, 40c to Fahrenheit is 104^oF

45C

c/5 = f-32/9

c = 45

substitute, 45/5 = f-32/9

9/1 = f-32/9

Cross multiply

9*9 = 1(f-32)

81 = f -32

Make f the subject of the equation

F = 81 +32 = 113

Therefore, 45c to Fahrenheit is 113^oF

100C

c/5 = f-32/9

c = 100

substitute, 100/5 = f-32/9

20/1 = f-32/9

Cross multiply

20*9 = 1(f-32)

180 = f -32

Make f the subject of the equation

F = 180 +32 = 212

Therefore, 100c to Fahrenheit is 212^oF
