The conversions are pretty simply, especially for temperature. I never remember them anymore though.

why would anyone need to remember them? you know when it's cold.

 

For the temp there is an easy trick. ( so easy that i don't remember)

 

I use to have to convert measurements for my job.

Plenty of sunshine here. In the 60's even.

 

60's?

 

 

you can do the conversion and if you can;t google can

 

Silly metric system. biggrin.gif

 

Of course. He should've said "60 F". Then I would've calculated myself.

 

always a potential threat from the sky, and can't trust the ground. ocean's good.

 

Meteorite, Earthquake, Tsunami.

i remember learning it and there's something involving 32 and 5 and 9 i think but that's where it's lost me.

 

happily not one of the things i have to convert.

I use to have to convert measurements for my job.

(F-32)÷1.8=C

 

Other way:

 

(C×1.8)+32=F

There is an easier way.

 

*googles*

and they say this is easiest though it will not compute in my mathless mind

 

Below is another accepted conversion method that works just as well and perhaps might be easier to remember. No matter which direction you want to covert, Fahrenheit to Celsius or Celsius to Fahrenheit, always first add 40 to the number. Next, multiply by 5/9 or 9/5 just like the first method. Then, always subtract out the 40 you just added to yield the final result. To remember whether to use 5/9 or 9/5 when converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius or Celsius to Fahrenheit, just simply remember, F (for Fahrenheit) begins with the same letter as Fraction. 5/9 is always a Fraction; while 9/5 is also a fraction, in this form, it is Clearly a whole number plus a fraction (1 and 4/5). Thus, if you want to convert Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius ©, then use the Fraction 5/9; Celsius © to Fahrenheit (F), use the other, 9/5, which is Clearly not just a fraction.

 

For an example of this method, we'll use the values we used in the initial example, 98.6 F and 37 C, which are equal.

 

To convert from F to C, try these calculations manually.

98.6 + 40 = 138.6, and 138.6 * 5/9 = 77. For the final calculation, remove the 40. 77 - 40 = 37

 

To convert from C to F, try these calculations manually.

37 + 40 = 77, and 77 * 9/5 = 138.6. For the final calculation, remove the 40. 138.6 - 40 = 98.6

 

In summary, add 40, (F to C) multiply by Fraction...(C to F) multiply by the other, subtract 40.

Sorry, it has to be C=5/9(F-32) and F=9/5(C+32).

And we also have Kelvin, that is C+273.15 (and a whole lot more decimals, until infinity, IIRC).

yes. 32 5 and 9.

 

 

ridiculous to have made a new system, but it serves to increase divisions among the humans and that serves the shadow. so it's all evil. :myrddraal:

But REALLY, are we having a conversation about how to calculate Celsius and Fahrenheit?

 

 

really, is that even in the top 10000 strangest convos in this thread?

yes. 32 5 and 9.

Fahrenheit was older, but it had a weird 0 and 100. 0 for the lowest temperature ever in the town where Fahrenheit was born, 100 for the temperature of a HORSE...

 

Celcius used the melting and whatever-it-is-named point of water.

*wonders when his dragons will be full-grown*

 

 

i'd put that in the top 10

 

Really?
