- Temperature: It is the measure of the degree of hotness and coldness of a body.
- The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (K).
Fahrenheit and Celsius are measurements of temperature and are related to each other as follows:
C = (F - 32) × \(\frac{5}{9}\)
Where C is the temperature in Celsius and F is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
EXPLANATION:
Since we need temperature in fahrenheit and celsius to be equal:
Now, let C = F = x
So,
x = (x - 32) × \(\frac{5}{9}\)
or, 9x = 5x – 160
or, 4x = -160
or, x = -40
Therefore, -40°C = -40°FLast updated on Jul 15, 2025
