Mastering Temperature Conversions: A Quick
Reference
1. Celsius to Fahrenheit
°F = ( °C × 1.8 ) + 32
2. Fahrenheit to Celsius
°C = (°F - 32 ) × 5/9
3. Celsius to Kelvin
K = °C + 273.15
4. Kelvin to Celsius
°C = K - 273.15
5. Fahrenheit to Kelvin
K = (°F - 32 ) × 5/9 + 273.15
6. Kelvin to Fahrenheit
°F = ( K - 273.15 ) × 9/5 + 32
MEANINGS
°C - Celsius
°F - Fahrenheit
K - Kelvin
Example
Convert 25°C to
Fahrenheit.
Step 1
Use this formula
°F = (°C × 1.8 ) + 32 since we are
converting 25°C to Fahrenheit.
Step 2
°F = (°C × 1.8) + 32
Replace °C to 25, since we are converting
this 25°C to Fahrenheit. So
°F = ( 25 × 1.8 ) + 32
Step 3
Solve what's inside the bracket first. So
we're gonna multiply 25 and 1.8.
°F = 45 + 32
Step 4
After multiplying 25 and 1.8, the answer
was 45 as you can see above. Now we're
gonna solve what's left.
°F = 45 + 32
°F = 77
The final answer is 77 degrees fahrenheit
or 77°F.

Step 1 Use this formula °F = (°C × 1.8 ) + 32 since we are converting 25°C to Fahrenheit. Step 2 °F = (°C × 1.8) + 32 Replace °C to 25 , since we are converting this 25°C to Fahrenheit. So °F = ( 25 × 1.8 ) + 32 Step 3 Solve what's inside the bracket first. So we're gonna multiply 25 and 1.8. °F = 45 + 32 Step 4 After multiplying 25 and 1.8, the answer was 45 as you can see above. Now we're gonna solve what's left. °F = 45 + 32 °F = 77 The final answer is 77 degrees fahrenheit or 77°F.
