A change in temperature of 1 "degree" Celsius is equivalent to a change of 1.8 "degrees" Fahrenheit. Both are called degrees but they are different sizes.

A temperature reading of 1 degree Celsius is equivalent to

a Fahrenheit reading of (32 + 1.8) = 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit

F=9 c/5 +32

c=1

F=9*1/5 +32

=9/5+32

=1.8+32

F=33.8

so a temperature reading of 1 °C is 33.8 °F

A change in temperature of 1 degree Fahrenheit is equivalent to a change of .555 degrees Celsius.

A temperature reading of 1 °F is equivalent to a Celsius reading of -17.22 °C .

The conversion formula is °C = (°F -32) / 1.8

The same formula with fractions is °C = 5/9 (°F-32)

One Celsius "degree" is equal to 1.8 Fahrenheit "degrees". Though both scales use the units called "degrees", they are not equal in size.

The Fahrenheit scale has 180 divisions (degrees) between 32° and 212° - the freezing and boiling points of water.

The Celsius scale has only 100 divisions (degrees) between 0° and 100° - the freezing and boiling points of water.

So the Celsius degrees are "larger" degrees, and a change in temperature in Celsius will be 1.8 times as large on the Fahrenheit scale. That is where the 5/9 and 9/5 fractions come in on the conversion formulas.

To calculate temperatures, C = 5/9 (F - 32) or F = 9/5 (C + 32)(see related question)

This is not a simple multiplication. Rather, use the following formulae to convert:

F = (9/5)C + 32

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

F = (9/5)C + 32

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

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: F = C * (9/5) + 32. So, one degree Fahrenheit is approximately equal to 0.5556 degrees Celsius.
