Another, slightly more geeky, way to get the answer is to use the 2 equations
1. F=9/5C +32 ... used to convert from centigrade (Celsius) to Fahrenheit
2. C= 5/9(F- 32).... used to convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade (Celsius)
Firstly write the write the equations so that they are equal (C=F), and then we can solve the simultaneous equations. So it looks like this:
9/5C+32 = 5/9(F-32). (this is when Fahrenheit and Celsius/ Centigrade are equal)
Then you solve for either F or C, by substituting for either F or C into the equation above (1. if you are solving for F, or 2. if you are solving for C) lets use number 1 and solve for F
It now looks like this:
9/5C+32 = 5/9((9/5C+32)-32) (I just put in (9/5C + 32), where F used to be.
To solve it we just use some simple rules of equations to try to get C on its own
Firstly divide both sides by 5/9) and it look like this:
9(9/5C+32)/5 = ((9/5C+32)-32)
Then simplify right hand side by removing the brackets like this:
9(9/5C+32)/5 = 9/5C [of course 32-32=0]
Next simplify the left hand side by opening brackets (it is done by multiplying everything inside the brackets by 9):
(81/5C+288)/5 = 9/5C
To get rid of 5 on bottom of left hand side, you muliply both sides by 5 and get:
(81/5C+288) = 45/5C
Next remove the brackets arent needed (nothing to do outside the brackets):
81/5C+288 = 45/5C
Next move Cs together and numbers to other side (by taking 288 from both sides and taking 45/5C from both sides), and it looks like this:
81/5C-45/5C =-288
Now solve the left hand side (easy as they are both over 5C), so its just 81-45:
36/5C=-288
Next multiply both sides by 5 (gets rid of the 5 on the bottom of left hand side) and you get:
36C=-1440
Now we divide both sides by 36 (makes C= to 1), and we get:
C=-1440/36
Now whack that into a calculator and Hey Presto:
C=-40
(it also work if you substitute for C)
So the temperature at which Celsius = Fahrenheit is -40 degrees
(I hope this helped)
Use this equation to convert degrees Celsius/Centigrade (ºC) to degrees Fahrenheit (ºF): [°F] = [°C] × 1.8 + 32
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.
Minus 40 degrees Celsius (centigrade) = Minus 40 degrees fahrenheit.
- 40 is the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
Temperature Fahrenheit = Temperature Celsius(1.80) + 32
If you say, "It's forty degrees below zero," you don't have to specify whether you're using Fahrenheit or Celsius (Centigrade).
Tha happens to be at -40 degrees.
At -40 degrees.
At -40 degrees on both scales.

Fahrenheit, centigrade, kelvin.
36 Fahrenheit would be low, but 36 Centigrade would not.
47 degrees Fahrenheit is 8.33333 centigrade
100 degrees Celsius or Centigrade 212 degrees Fahrenheit
Centigrade also known as Celsius is the interval system for the measurement of temperature where Fahrenheit is a thermodynamic temperature scale. 70 degrees centigrade is equal to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. 70 degrees Fahrenheit is 21.1 degrees centigrade.
-40 Centigrade (celsius) is equal to -40 Fahrenheit.
11 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to a temperature of -11.67 degrees Celsius.
34 degrees Celsius is equal to a temperature of 93.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
-40 centigrade is the temperature which is equal to -40 Fahrenheit and vice versa.
4 degrees centigrade is equal to 39.2 degree Fahrenheit.
77 Fahrenheit
Kelvin is a temperature scale, like Fahrenheit or Centigrade. It is generally used in scientific contexts. One degree Kelvin is equal to one degree Centigrade. In order to find the temperature in Kelvin, I have provided the following equations. If you have a temperature in Fahrenheit and want to know it in Kelvin, it is easiest to convert to Centigrade first. (Fahrenheit Temperature - 32) X (5/9) = (Centigrade Temperature) If you have a Centigrade temperature and want to know it in Kelvin, you can convert it directly to Kelvin. (Centigrade Temperature + 273) = (Kelvin Temperature) The reason for the 273 is that scientists wanted the Kelvin scale to begin at Absolute Zero. Thus, Absolute Zero is 0 K and -273 degrees Centigrade. Since, as I stated above, one degree Centigrade is equal to one degree Kelvin, this equation works. If you want to convert back from Kelvin, the following equations may be used. (Kelvin Temperature -273) = (Centigrade Temperature) And if you're asked to report the temperature in Fahrenheit, use (Centigrade Temperature X (9/5)) +32 = (Fahrenheit Temperature) It should be noted that you do not include a degree symbol when you report a Kelvin temperature.
In fahrenheit it is 1283.2 degrees
Centigrade is used in Canada .
140 degrees centigrade equal 284 degrees Fahrenheit.
25 degrees centigrade equal 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
