Celsius

[Poopy Head]

Who here can read temperature in Celsius? I can only read Fahrenheit.

I've spent a lot of time in Europe but live in the states so yeah fine with either one. You'll start using Celsius when you're in jr. high in school or around there, at least for science-aimed courses.

 

[fantanoice]

Yep, because errybody knows celsius is the superior temperature measurement. 😛

 

[Poopy Head]

Eh, I don't know anything about Celsius. I just haven't took classes with it yet.

Does it really matter which way you read temperature as long as you know how hot or cold something is? :lol:

 

[Poopy Head]

:lol: I just wanted to see who knows Celsius, I haven't taken classes with it yet, so that's probably why.

To find Celsius from Fahrenheit is really pretty simple......

Take away 28, then divide by 2

For example,

84°F is 28°C

because 84 - 28 / 2 = 28

You can do it the opposite way around too,

17°C = 62°F

17 x 2 + 28 = 62

..........that's the way I was taught to do it anyway, sometimes it might be 1 degree out, but it's pretty close enough.

I think to do it exactly ....

Here's How:

1. Take the temperature in Celsius and multiply 1.8.
2. Add 32 degrees.
3. The result is degrees Fahrenheit.

or another way is to to this..............

°F to °C Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9
°C to °F Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32

All these ways are correct but I find the easiest is to do it my way :lol:

Well said MissTake. That is how I learned it too. 🙂

 

[Zaborg]

Always used Celsius, never seen any Fahrenheits in my life... Only in school, once.

That makes no sense.

I use the Celcius measurement. From my perspective, it seems logical that zero (0) is the base for freezing water, so I find it weird that such a basic digit is not used in the Farenheit system to denote a shift from one state of matter to another.

 

[Martee]

Celsius is the baws of temperature measurement. All hail the king and whatnot.

I am kind of fortunate as to how learned. I am 36 so here in Canada I was school age when Celsius and the whole metric system was first becoming widely used, I learned both.

I get a big kick out of when people ask just how cold it gets in parts of Canada and I say it is not uncommon for it to get down to -40. Of course they ask what that is in Fahrenheit and most don't believe when I tell them it is the same. That is where the scale balances..... -40 is the same by both measures.

Yeah, I learned that by converting as well. I found it difficult to believe at first. I checked it, though, and it's accurate!

I met a guy a while back that was travelling to the North West Territories (Northern most part of Canada) from the Southern States for work, he had signed a one year contract.

He asked me what to expect for temperatures in the winter. When I told him he got kind of mad and did not believe me for a second saying it was impossible for anyone to survive in temperatures even half that cold. Wonder how the poor guy made out when he woke up to his first hard core winter storm. LOL

 

[Poopy Head]

I've never used Celsius, I just know that it is lower than Fahrenheit. From what I can tell Celsius means nothing to anyone. To me, at least. :lol: Yes, I know that some places only use Celsius. 😛

Let me try once more :roll:


Say for example you have a temperature of 84 Degrees Fahrenheit but you want to know what that measures in Celsius?

You take the number 84 and minus 28 from it (don't ask why 28)
You are left with the figure 56
Finally you divide 56 by 2 (don't ask why 2 either)
You get 28 right?

84 Degrees Fahrenheit = 28 Degrees Celsius

Theory
Minus 28 then Divide by 2 - to find Celsius

Multiply by 2 then add 28 - to find Fahrenheit

 

[Poopy Head]

Wow, thanks. :lol: I'm bad at math
So like if you start with 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and subtract 28 you have 62. Then you divide by two, which makes that 32 degrees Celcius,Please correct me if I'm wrong XD
Okay, I guess you need to be pretty good at math if you can figure that out correctly.

you have it!!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

well almost........it makes 31 degrees (62/2=31) 😛

...but the process was correct :great:

 

[Poopy Head]

Whatever. I'm probably going to call you Mrs.Take from now on because you're my math teacher! :lol: Thanks for the help :great: So you like subtract one after you put it in halves? I had to go away for a second to get a paper and a pen.
