1 Answer
Explanation:
In order to determine how many degrees 19 Fahrenheit is in Celsius we need to understand that there is an equation that we must use. To convert a temperature in Fahrenheit to Celsius that equation looks like this:
Now we can solve for
-------------------------------
Here's a quick refresher on PEMDAS:
First (P): we do anything in parentheses
Second (E): we do anything raised to a power, exponents
Third (M): we do any multiplication
Fourth (D): we do any division
Fifth (A): we do any addition
Sixth (S): we do any subtraction
-------------------------------
Okay now that's out of the way let's solve!
Okay this might look intimidating but, its not I promise.
Is the same as this:
You could cheat by plugging this into a calculator but lets take a look at
Now,
In fact this holds true for any number less than 9 that is over 9 (all numbers up to
For all intents and purposes we can round this to 0.556. Now we can multiply -13 by 0.556, this will give us the number of degrees Celsius:
We can round to get:
-------------------------------
In order to go from Celsius to Fahrenheit we can use this equation:
Instead of plugging in Fahrenheit we would plug in Celsius. For example: "What is -7.2^oC in Fahrenheit?"
I hope this helps!
