How Do You Convert Between Fahrenheit And Celsius (Memorizing And Using The Formulas)?
A common task for students in science (or perhaps math) class is to convert temperatures between degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius. In some cases students may be asked to memorize the formulas for doing so, but in any case it is essential to understand how to properly use the formulas. This article shows you the steps for using and memorizing the formulas. Fahrenheit is a system of measuring temperature which is pretty much only used in the United States, and furthermore, only in the non-scientific community. Celsius is used in the scientific community, and is used in everyday life virtually everywhere in the world besides the US. See the chart at left for the boiling and freezing temperatures under each system. You can see that the Celsius system is based on simpler numbers that are easier to remember. Also take note that a given temperature will almost always have a higher number in Fahrenheit than in Celsius, with the exception of temperatures below -40° (negative 40) in which Fahrenhe
