When The Celsius Temperature Changes 10 Degrees, How Much Does The Fahrenheit Change?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Fact:
    0 degree Celsius = 32 degree Fahrenheit
    The formula for conversion is:
    Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32)
    Where:
    Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius; and
    Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
    So 20 degrees celsius would be:
    10=5/9 * Tf  - 32
    10 + 32 = 5/9 *Tf
    42=5/9 * Tf
    42*9=5*Tf
    378=5*Tf
    Tf=378/5
    Tf=75.6
    So 10 degree Celsius = 75.6 degree Fahrenheit

    Sorry Katie01, you are incorrect.

    The correct answer is: 10C = 50.0F
    You can double-check that using a converter here: Http://www.csgnetwork.com/tempconvjava.html

    You incorrectly added 32 before you multiplied by 9 and divided by 5. You are supposed to add 32 after you multiply and divide.

      When Celsius changes 10, Fahrenheit changes 18.

      Examples:
      -40C = -40F
      -30C = -22F
      -20C = -4F
      -10C = 14F
      0C = 32F
      10C = 50F
      20C = 68F
      30C = 86F
      40C = 104F
      50C = 122F

      To figure out higher or lower numbers, you can use the converter here: www.csgnetwork.com

      There are 4 easy ways to convert from one temp to another using a calculator (unless you can multiply and/or divide in your head).

      C: Celsius
      F: Fahrenheit
      +: Plus
      -: Minus
      x: Times
      /: Divided By
      =: Equals

      To convert from C to F:
      C x 9 / 5 + 32 = F
      C + 40 x 9 / 5 - 40 = F
      C x 1.8 + 32 = F
      C + 40 x 1.8 - 40 = F

      To convert from F to C:
      F - 32 x 5 / 9 = C
      F + 40 x 5 / 9 - 40 = C
      F - 32 x .5555556 = C*
      F + 40 x .5555556 - 40 = C*

      *The last 2 equations will never give you an exact temp.  The larger the number, the less accurate it is.  This is because .5555556 is actually .555...  For practical purposes with normal temps, just round C to the nearest number.
