i posted this in a fandom discussion so y not here?
Celsius to Fahrenheit
Say that you want to compare 100 C to 259 F. However, they are in different units.
With the help of this formula:
F = 1.8C + 32
, you can calculate the Fahrenheit from the Celsius within the following steps. First, we’ll need to look into the freezing point.The freezing point is
0 C
, which is32 F
. That is why we will add 32 into the simplified variable;1.8C
, or in this case,(1.8 * 100)
.Here are the following steps in order to compare these temperatures:
C = 100
. Multiply 1.8, or 9/5, with 100. That will give you 180.- Add 32 with 180. That will give you 212, which is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
- Compare 212 F with 259 F, like which has the hottest temperature.
That shall give you the answer, which is
212 F < 259 F
.Fahrenheit to Celsius
Now, what if you want to convert F to C? That’s basically the opposite conversion.
We’ll compare 100 C with 256.1 F as well, but in Celsius. The formula for this is
C = (F - 32) / 1.8
.
SinceF = 256.1
, we’ll conduct the following steps in order to convert the number into Celsius.F - 32
. Parentheses goes first! Basically, subtract 32 from 256.1. That gives you 224.1.- Divide 224.1 by 1.8, or 9/5. That gives you 124.5.
- Finally, compare 100 C to 124.5 C.
Simplifying the situation, that gives us
100 C < 124.5 C
.That’s it for the two tutorials! Thanks for reading, and have a good day.

@laraiia thanks!

or the less to read way
(0°C × 9/5) + 32 = 32°F
