Water freezes at thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit, or zero degrees Celsius. Use temperature conversion formulas to show that these two measures are indeed the same temperature

Question

tkhunny · Answer

A few markers will help you see it.

-40ºC = -40ºF -- Really Cold
0ºC = 32ºF -- Freezing
40ºC = 104ºF -- Hot enough.
100ºC = 212ºF -- Boiling

Those are the ones I always remember for day-to-day usage.  You really need only two of them to establish the linear relationship.

ohh ok and yea I have problems with celcuis a lot

tkhunny · Answer

You should get $32 + (9/5)xºC = yºF$

Let's see.  $32 + (9/5)(-40) = 32 - 72 = -40$ !  Yup!  That one worked.
Boiling.  $32 + (9/5)(100) = 32 + 180 = 212$ !  Yup!  That one worked.

You do it for "Freeezing".

anonymous · Answer

lol ok hold on. how did you get 100 then 180

tkhunny · Answer

100*(9/5) = 9*(100/5) = 9*20 = 180
