WHEN ARE CELSIUS AND FAHRENHEIT THE SAME?

METEOROLOGIST JEFF HABY

The formula conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is given below:



F = 9/5*C + 32



To find the temperature both scales are equal we can use another equation and combine it with this previous equation. The equation is simply F = C. Plug in for F or C and solve. Both cases are shown below:



C = 9/5*C + 32

C - 9/5*C = 32

-4/5*C = 32

C = (-32*5)/4 = -40





F = 9/5*F + 32

F - 9/5*F = 32

-4/5*F = 32

F = (-32*5)/4 = -40



Thus, at the cold temperature of negative 40, this temperature is the same on both the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales.
