Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion Problems

 Problems : 
Question 1: Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:
(a) 0o F
(b) 15o F
(c) 40o F.
Solution:

The Fahrenheit to Celsius is given by the formula
C = (F - 32) × 59
  1. (a) 0o F = (0 - 32) × 59 = - 17.78o C
  2. (b) 15o F = (15 - 32) × 59 = -9.45o C
  3. (c) 40o F = (40 - 32) × 59 = 4.45C.


Question 2: Convert the following in to Fahrenheit:
(a) 25o C
(b) 45o C
(c) 100o C.
Solution:

To convert the Celsius to Fahrenheit is given by formula F = C × 95 + 32
25oC = 25 × 95 + 32
         = 5 × 9 + 32
         = 77o F
45oC = 45 × 95 + 32
        = 9 × 9 + 32
        = 113o F
100oC = 100 × 95 + 32
          = 20 × 9 + 32
          = 212o F.
