Centigrade is another word for the Celsius scale. 'The simplicity of the Celsius scale led to it superseding the Fahrenheit as the universal temperature scale. Centigrade, meanwhile, was a popular name for the Celsius scale for a time and this term literally means 'a 100 grade scale'. from www.dandantheweatherman.com/Bereklauw/Celsius.htm It also says '*to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit simply multiply the Celsius value by 9, divide the answer by 5 and add 32. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius deduct 32 from the Fahrenheit reading, multiply the answer by 5 and divide this answer by 9. Mathematically, Celsius = [(Fahrenheit -32) x 5 ] / 9 and Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 9) / 5 + 32. ' |

No ! don't know diff or reason !! When I was a kid, someone TRIED to explain to me how to work one out using the other ... ie: if its thirty degrees ... then times it by 3 and then take away or add 3 ...?? Yesterdays temp was 34 so X by 3 = 102 take 3 = 98 ..... I'm sure they said it was 93 ?? So maybe its Times the Ten by 3 and add 3 ? 34 becomes 30 ... times by 3 = 90 ... then add 3 = 93. NEVER have been able to work it out applying the rules I was told about !!!!!!! If any one can enlighten me, I'd REALLY appreciate it ! Elaine ;-) |
