The formula
To convert from Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), you use this conversion formula:
°F=(°C×59)+32
This formula comes from the relationship between the two temperature scales. The factor 95\frac{9}{5} accounts for the difference in scale between Celsius and Fahrenheit, and the “+32” accounts for the offset between the freezing points of water on both scales (0°C = 32°F).
Substitute 180°C into the formula
Now, substitute 180 for °C in the formula:
°F=(180×59)+32
Multiply by 9/5
Next, multiply 180 by 95\frac{9}{5} (which is the same as multiplying by 1.8):
180×59=180×1.8=324
Now, add 32 to the result from the previous step:
324+32=356
Final Answer:
So, 180°C is equal to 356°F.
Summary of the steps:
- Use the formula: ° 𝐹 = ( ° 𝐶 × 9 5 ) + 32 °F=(°C× 5 9 )+32
- Substitute 180 for °C: ° 𝐹 = ( 180 × 9 5 ) + 32 °F=(180× 5 9 )+32
- Multiply 180 by 9 5 5 9 : 180 × 1.8 = 324 180×1.8=324
- Add 32: 324 + 32 = 356 324+32=356
Thus, 180°C = 356°F.
