What is 10 degrees centigrade in Fahrenheit?
Answer: 10 degrees centigrade in Fahrenheit is 50
Temperature conversions between Celsius (Centigrade) and Fahrenheit are common in science and daily life. Each scale measures temperature differently, so converting between them requires using a specific formula. Here, we explore how to change 10 degrees Celsius to its equivalent temperature in Fahrenheit.
Methods
Math Tutor Explanation Using the Standard Conversion Formula
The standard formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit is to multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then add 32.
Step 1: Step 1: Multiply 10 by 9/5
Step 2: Step 2: Add 32 to the result
Math Tutor Explanation Using Incremental Conversion
Understand how each degree Celsius equals 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, and then adjust for the difference in starting points between the scales.
Step 1: Step 1: For each degree Celsius, increase Fahrenheit by 1.8
Step 2: Step 2: Start at 32 (the freezing point of water in Fahrenheit) and add the total increase (10 x 1.8 = 18) to get 50
