Hi there! I'm a bit embarrassed to ask this, but I have been having issues with these conversions in my physics class... Could anyone simplify it for me? Thanks in advance!
Absolutely, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Many face confusion when they first learn to do temperature conversions. Here's a simple rule you can use to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
1. Multiply your Celsius temperature by 9/5.
2. Then add 32 to the result.
Here is how this might look if you're converting 30 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit:
1. First step: 30 9/5 = 54
2. Second step: 54 + 32 = 86
So, 30 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Hope this helps!
