-38 degrees Celsius = ? degrees Fahrenheit 1.8 times C plus 32 equals F equivalent. -68.4C plus 32 equals -36.4F Why does this look wrong? |

Oops [b]DAMN BRACKETS[/b] -38 C = -36.4 F MY BAD! (courtesy of the conversion funtion of any decent graphing calculator [:D]) edited to add [url]http://students.washington.edu/kyle/temptable.jpg[/url] has a temperature conversion formula table. and from some other site To convert a Fahrenheit temperature into Celsius: Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32) For example, to convert a Fahrenheit temperature of 98.6 degrees into degrees Celsius first subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature to get 66.6. Then you multiply 66.6 by five-ninths to get 37 degrees Celsius. To convert a Celsius temperature into degrees Fahrenheit: Tf = ((9/5)*Tc)+32 |

Quoted: Uh no, DoubleFeed, you were right the first time. -38 degrees C = -36.4 degrees F. I don't know why that looks wrong to you. The scales are equivalent at -40 degrees, so that answer makes sense. It looks wrong to me because the numbers are so far apart on the hot side of the freeze point. |
