Question

How many degrees celsius equals one degree fahrenheit?

Answer 1

Temperature in celsius is `-17.22^oC`

Explanation:

If `F` is the temperature in Fahrenheit and `C` is temperature in Celsius then

`(F-32)/180`= `(C-0)/100`

or `(F-32)/9= C/5`

Hence if `F=1`,

`C/5=(1-32)/9=-31/9` and

`C=((-31)xx5)/9=-155/9=-17.22`

In case you want to know how many degrees Celsius temperature will rise or fall for every rise or fall by `1^@` Fahrenheit,

we observe that relation `(F-32)/9= C/5` is

`C=5/9F-32/9` or `F=9/5C+32`

So for every rise or fall by `1^@` Fahrenheit, it is `5/9=0.555^@` Celsius and for every rise or fall by `1^@` Celsius, it is `9/5=1.8^@` Fahrenheit.
