Temperature can be measured using different scales, most commonly Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C). It's important to know how to convert between these scales, especially in science and international contexts.
1. What is the freezing point of water in Celsius?
32°C
0°C
100°C
-10°C
2. The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
°C = (°F + 32) × 5/9
°C = (°F - 32) × 9/5
°C = (°F / 5/9) - 32
3. The boiling point of water is 212°F, which is equivalent to °C.
4. A comfortable room temperature of 72°F is approximately °C.
5. Convert 98.6°F (normal human body temperature) to Celsius. Show your work.
6. A recipe calls for an oven temperature of 350°F. What is this temperature in Celsius? Show your work.
7. If the temperature is 10°C, it will feel colder than 10°F.
