Celsius and Fahrenheit are two different temperature scales involved in the conversion of degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.

Celsius and Fahrenheit are two different temperature scales involved in the conversion of degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. The Celsius scale (°C) is used as a Metric system in most countries worldwide while the Fahrenheit scale (°F) is mostly used in the United States as a unit of measurement. They both measure temperature but use different numbers when showing the readings.
The freezing point of water is measured at 0° Celsius and is shown in Fahrenheit as 32°F. To get the temperature reading in the other scale, we have to add or subtract by 32. The boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure is 100° Celsius but will be shown as 212° Fahrenheit. The scales rise at different rates which imply that we need to multiply to get the reading of the other scale.
To determine the calculation of degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit;
180/100 can be simplified as 9/5 whereas 100/180 can be simplified as 5/9.
The fastest method of converting 10 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit will be; multiply the temperature reading by 9/5 and then add the result to 32.
Celsius to Fahrenheit Converter
10 degrees Celsius(°C) = 50 degrees Fahrenheit(°F)
Formula
10°C = 50°F is the standard principle used in the conversion. Therefore, 10 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
T (°F) = T (°C) x 9/5 + 32 is the method for converting degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit.
For example;
Convert 10 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit
Solution
T (°F) = 10°C x 9/5 + 32
= 50°F
Other methods that work
The first procedure is to multiply the temperature reading in degrees Celsius by 2. Subtract 10% from the result and then add 32 to get the temperature reading in Fahrenheit
For example;
Convert 10 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit
Solution
10 x 2 = 20
Less 10% of 20 (2) = 18
18 + 32 = 50°F
