Celsius to Fahrenheit Converter

What is Temperature Conversion?

Temperature conversion is the process of changing a temperature value from one scale to another. The two most commonly used temperature scales are Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). Understanding how to convert between these scales is crucial in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life.

Formula

The formulas for converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit are:

Celsius to Fahrenheit: \[ °F = (°C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32 \]

Fahrenheit to Celsius: \[ °C = (°F - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} \]

Where:

• \( °C \) is the temperature in Celsius
• \( °F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit

Calculation Steps

Let's convert 25°C to Fahrenheit:

1. Start with the Celsius to Fahrenheit formula: \[ °F = (°C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32 \]
2. Substitute 25 for °C: \[ °F = (25 \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32 \]
3. Multiply 25 by \(\frac{9}{5}\): \[ °F = 45 + 32 \]
4. Add 32: \[ °F = 77 \]

Therefore, 25°C is equal to 77°F.
