Fahrenheit

Fahrenheit is a temperature scale used to measure temperature. It is most commonly used in the United States. The Fahrenheit scale was created by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees, and the boiling point of water is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart.

Converting Celsius to Fahrenheit

To convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the following formula:

Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 9/5) + 32

For example, if you want to convert 20 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit:

Fahrenheit = (20 x 9/5) + 32

Fahrenheit = (36) + 32

Fahrenheit = 68

Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius

To convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the following formula:

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9

For example, if you want to convert 68 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius:

Celsius = (68 - 32) x 5/9

Celsius = (36) x 5/9

Celsius = 20
