Deg C vs Deg F?

If 1degC is 33.8Deg F


Then why isnt double of 1DegC ie 2Deg C double of 33.8Deg F.





This is the conversion:


1 C ...........33.8 F


2 C ...........35.6 F


But surely if double of one is two then double of 33.8 should be 67.6?

Deg C vs Deg F?
celsius and fahrenheit do not scale proportionally.





to convert C to F, multiply by (9/5) and add 32.0.





similarly to convert F to C, subtract 32.0 then multiply by 5/9.





the scales are only proportional by the factor of 5/9 or 9/5 if the constant of 32 is removed, this is because Mr Fahrenheit fixed the freezing point of water at 32F instead of 0F. peculiar guy. i guess thats why the rest of the world follows Mr Celsius.
Reply:There is one formula to convert Deg C to Deg F and vice a versa.


The formula is


Deg C = (5/9) * (Deg F - 32).





That is why 1 Deg C = 33.8 Deg F, but


2 Deg C = 35.6,


3 Deg C = 37.4 and on.......





Deg C and Deg F can also be converted into Deg K,


Formula is


Deg K = Deg C + 273.15





1 Deg K = 274.15 Deg C


2 Deg K = 275.15 Deg C


and on.....
Reply:The relation between Centigade and Farenheit is given by the formula -


C = F - 32 * 5/9
Reply:Everyone else has explained the calculation superbly, but this reminds me of something I hear and abhor: "Oh, that's twice as hot as it was yesterday!" when the temperature goes from 10degC to 20degC. No! It may be true using the Kelvin scale, but not with any other.
Reply:C = (5/9) * (F - 32)


F=1.8C+32


Use these formulae
Reply:No - this is not such a simple conversion. The reason is due to what each standard counts as 0 degrees.





To convert from deg C to deg F


deg C x 9/5 + 32





To convert from deg F to deg C


deg F - 32 x 5/9
