How many Fahrenheit degrees are equal to one Celsius degree?

Answer 1

There are ~1.8 (approximately) degrees on the Fahrenheit scale for every 1 degree on the Celsius scale.

An example of this would be the question:

When geologists talk about a volcano cooling the climate by 2 or 3 degrees C, how many degrees Fahrenheit would this be?

Answer:

It would be 3.6 to 5.4 degrees change on the Fahrenheit temperature scale.

**Note**:

If you want to convert *Temperatures* from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F):

1) First take the number of degrees on the Celsius scale and multiply it by 9.

2) Next divide that number by 5,

3) Finally add 32.

These steps are equivalent to the equation:

F = (9/5)C + 32

In this conversion example, the answer would be:

A temperature of 1 degree Celsius approximately equals a temperature of 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

It is *important* that you understand the difference between these two, so that you can properly answer questions on homework and tests!
