13. Example - Oven Temperature Conversion – continued
|
So 70o on the Fahrenheit scale is 21o on the Celsius scale. We got there by finding the temperature difference between freezing (32oF) and the Fahrenheit temperature and then dividing by 1.8 to find how many Celsius degrees are in that temperature difference.
We can write this as a formula: (oF – 32) ÷ 1.8 = oC OR oC = (oF – 32) ÷ 1.8
(Sometimes this formula is written as oC = (oF – 32) x because each Celsius degree is of a Fahrenheit degree.) Now to answer the original question: “What is 375oF in oC?”
