BeauWell, darling, when converting Celsius to Fahrenheit, you multiply by 9/5 or divide by 5/9 because that's just how the conversion formula works. It's like trying to fit into your skinny jeans after a big meal - it's all about proportions, honey. So, grab a calculator and crunch those numbers, and you'll have your temperature conversion quicker than you can say "hot stuff."
When converting Celsius to Fahrenheit, you multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 (or 1.8) and then add 32. This is because the Fahrenheit scale has a different zero point and a different size of degree compared to the Celsius scale. The factor of 9/5 is used to account for this difference in scale between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures.
The melting point of ice is 0 deg C or 32 deg F while the boiling point of water is 100 deg C or 212 deg F.
The difference between the two is 100 deg C or 180 deg F. Thus a difference of 100 deg C is equivalent to a difference of 180 deg F. Divide both these numbers by 20: a difference of 5 degrees C is equivalent to a difference of 9 degrees F. That is where the 5/9 comes from.
Note that, 5 deg C is NOT 9 deg F because the zeros on the two scales are not the same.

What is the formula for converting temperatures?
Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius: Celsius = (5/9) * (Fahrenheit - 32)Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: Fahrenheit = (9/5) * Celsius + 32Convert Celsius to kelvin: Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15Convert kelvin to Celsius: Celsius = kelvin - 273.15
What is the formula for converting celsius to Fahrenheit degrees?
F to C: Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9 C to F: Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32
WHICH IS FALSE 5 degrees celsius is warmer than 5 degrees Fahrenheit 15 degrees CELSIUS IS COOLER THAN 60 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT 30 DEGREES CELSIUS IS WARMER THAN 90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT 35 DEGREES CELSIUS?
I suggest you convert each of the Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius (or the other way round, each of the Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit), and then compare.

What does 45 degrees Fahrenheit equal in Celsius?
Start by taking the number in Celsius and multiply it by 9. Then divide that number by 5, and then add 32. This is how you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or use the equation F = (9/5)C + 32In this case, the answer is about 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
