Converting temperature
Practice converting from the following Celsius temperatures into Fahrenheit:
- 100°
- 20°
- 0°
- 17°
- 3°
- 37°
Use the formula: F = (9/5)C+32°
For example, to convert a Celsius temperature of 100 into degrees Fahrenheit, first multiply the Celsius temperature by nine-fifths to get 180. Then add 32 to 180 and get 212°F.
You can check your answers with the conversion table all the way at the bottom of the page. Try making up your own examples and solving them as well.
