Formula for Conversion:
To convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), you use this formula:
F=59×C+32
Where:
- FF is the temperature in Fahrenheit
- CC is the temperature in Celsius
Substitute the Celsius value into the formula
You are given C=170C = 170°C, so substitute that into the formula:
F=59×170+32
Multiply 95\frac{9}{5} by 170
Now, let’s multiply 95\frac{9}{5} (which is the same as 1.8) by 170:
59×170=1.8×170=306
Add 32
Next, add 32 to the result from the previous step:
306+32=338306 + 32 = 338
Final Answer:
So, 170°C is equal to 338°F.
Recap:
- Multiply 170 by 1.8 to get 306.
- Add 32 to 306 to get 338.
Thus, 170°C = 338°F.
Visualizing the Relationship:
- The Celsius scale has a freezing point of water at 0°C and a boiling point at 100°C.
- The Fahrenheit scale has a freezing point of water at 32°F and a boiling point at 212°F.
So, as you can see, for every degree Celsius change, the Fahrenheit value changes by 1.8 degrees.
