Definition
Fahrenheit Scale
A thermometer scale in use in the United States and England. On this
scale the temperature of melting ice is 32°; that of condensing
steam is
212°; the degrees are all of equal length. Its use is indicated by
the
letter F., as 180° F. To convert its readings into centigrade,
subtract
32 and multiply by 5/9. (b) To convert centigrade into F. multiply by
9/5 and add 32. Thus 180° F. = ((180-32) * 5/9)° C. = 82.2°
C. Again
180° C. = (180 * 9/5) + 32 = 324° F.
[Transcribers note: 180° C. = (180 * 9/5) + 32 = 356° F. ]
The additions and subtractions must be algebraic in all cases. Thus when
the degrees are minus or below zero the rules for conversion might be
put thus: To convert degrees F. below zero into centigrade to the number
of degrees F. add 32, multiply by 5/9 and place a minus sign (-) before
it. (b) To convert degrees centigrade below zero into Fahrenheit,
multiply the number of degrees by 9/5, subtract from 32 if smaller; if
greater than 32 subtract 32 therefrom, and prefix a minus sign, thus:
-10° C. = 32 - (10 * 9/5) = 14°. Again, -30°C. = (30 * 9/5)
- 32 = 22 =
-22° F.
