Question

The value of 32° Fahrenheit in Celsius scale is:
1. 48° C
2. 100° C
3. 24° C
4. 0° C
5. None of the above/More than one of the above.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 0° C

The correct answer is ​0°C.

• Celsius scale
  • The Celsius scale is set in such a way that Zero degrees C is the temperature at which ice melts.
  • At the other end of the scale, 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water.
  • In this scale, a lower fixed point (ice point) is designated as 0° and the upper fixed point (steam point) is designated as 100°.
  • The temperature measured on this scale is all in degrees Celsius (°C).
  • Formula (32°F - 32) × 5/9 = 0°C.
  • 32 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 0 degrees Celsius. Hence, Option 4 is correct.

• Conversion Formulas
  • Celsius
    • °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
    • °C = K - 273.15
  • Fahrenheit
    • °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
    • °F = ((K - 273.15) x 9/5) + 32
  • Kelvin
    • K = °C + 273.15
    • K = ((°F - 32) × 5/9) + 273.15
