Schools generally prefer centigrade; this is due to it being the more recognised scale in most subjects including both science and geography.
Official weather forecasts are given in Celsius (centigrade), but many people still work in Fahrenheit.
I'm having a little with trouble converting Centigrade to Fahrenheit. Centigrade is an older name for Celsius.
One centigrade degree = 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees One Fahrenheit degree = 0.5555 repeating centigrade degrees
47 degrees Fahrenheit is 8.33333 centigrade
To convert from centigrade (Celsius) to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 9/5) + 32. Multiply the temperature in Celsius by 9/5 and add 32 to get the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Use this formula to convert degrees Fahrenheit (F) to degrees Celsius/Centigrade (C): (F - 32) / 1.8 = C
A Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 the size of a centigrade degree.
Fahrenheit = 5/9 ( Centigrade - 32)
Metric: Centigrade/Celsius.
The boiling point of water is either 212 degrees fahrenheit or 100 degrees centigrade.
100 degrees Fahrenheit = 37.78 degrees Centigrade
44ºF = 6.67ºCYou can use this equation to convert degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) to degrees Celsius/Centigrade (ºC): [°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5⁄9
