Question

What is $32$ degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

Understanding the concept:

• There are two scales used it to measure temperature: Celsius and Fahrenheit.
• The temperature will be expressed in $°\mathrm{C}$, on the centigrade scale.
• The temperature will be stated in degrees Fahrenheit($°\mathrm{F}$) on the Fahrenheit scale.

Conversion of 32 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit:

• The mathematical formula for converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit is: $\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{C}\times (9/5)+32.$
• Here,
• $\mathrm{C}=32$
• Fahrenheit (F) thus equals $\mathrm{C}\times (9/5)+32$.
• $$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{F}=\mathrm{C}\times \left(\frac{9}{5}\right)+32 \\ =32\times \left(\frac{9}{5}\right)+32 \\ =89.6°\mathrm{F} \end{gathered}$$

Thus, $32$ degrees Celsius is equal to $89.6°\mathrm{F}$.
