How can the Fahrenheit and celsius scales be converted from one to another?

a) Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion requires three steps:

1. From value of degrees Fahrenheit subtract 32.

2. Multiply result of step 1 by 5

3. Divide result of step 2 by 9

For example, let's convert 41 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius:

1. 41 - 32 = 9

2. 9 * 5 = 45

3. 45 / 9 = 5

41 °F = 5 °C

Conversion formula: [°C] = ([°F] − 32) * 5 ⁄ 9

b) Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion requires three steps:

1. Multiply value of degrees Celsius by 9.

2. Divide result of step 1 by 5

3. Add 32 to result of step 2

For example, let's convert 5 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit:

1. 5 * 9 = 45

2. 45 / 5 = 9

3. 9 + 32 = 41

5 °C = 41 °F

Conversion formula: [°F] = [°C] * 9 / 5 + 32
