Temperature is measured using a thermometer, usually in the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale .

The common units used to measure temperature are $color(white)(X)^0 C$ or $color(white)(X)^0 F$

For eg., the boiling point of water is $100^oC$ or $212^0F$

The freezing point of water is $0^oC$ or $32^oF$

We often need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit or vice versa.

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit , we use the following formula:

$color(white)(X)^0 F = color(white)(x)^0C*(9/5) + 32$

And to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius , we use the following formula:

$color(white)(X)^0 C = (color(white)(x)^0F - 32)*(5/9)$
