Best Answer

183 F

-----------------------

A Fahrenheit degree covers 5/9 the range of temperature that a single Celsius degree covers.

So 84 Celsius degrees cover a range that takes 151.2 Fahrenheit degrees to cover.

But the scales that use these two types of "degrees" start (have their 'zero' points) at

different places (temperatures), so there's no simple, one-step relationship between

their respective values at the same physical temperature.

-- Place one thermometer of each kind in a cold chamber at -40°, and they both

display the same number.

-- Drop them both into a jar of ice-water. The Celsius thermometer reads 0°

and the F. one reads +32°.

-- Using long tongs, ease them both into a pot of boiling water. The Fahrenheit

thermometer reads +212°, while the Celsius one reads +100° .

-- If you could bring them into a lab where absolute zero has been achieved

(never been done) and stick both of your thermometers into the Nobel-prize-

winning cold chamber, the Celsius one would read -273.2° and the Fahrenheit

one would read -459.7° .

-- Going back to what I think you meant by your question, at the temperature

where a Celsius thermometer reads 84°, a Fahrenheit thermometer reads 183.2° .
