Answer 2

Explanation:

The equation to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is:

F = C * (9/5) + 32

The +32 is to account for the fact that 0 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. (Originally my answer was missing this part — thanks Bob Myers for pointing this out).

Using this equation after removing the +32, we can see that one degree Celsius equals 9/5 or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Therefore to compute a change of 10 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit, we can use the same equation (without the +32 offset, because we are measuring a change, not an absolute temperature):

F = 10 * (9/5)

F = 10 * 1.8

F = 18

A change of 10 degrees Celsius is equal to a change of 18 degrees Fahrenheit.

To prove it, let’s use two examples:

Example 1

10 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius

10 degrees Celsius equals 50 degrees Fahrenheit as we discovered from the previous example, after adding the +32 we had removed back in: F1 = 18 +32 = 50

Finding 20 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit → F = 20 * (9/5) + 32

F2 = 68

Finding the difference in Fahrenheit: F2 - F1 = Difference

68 - 50 = 18 degrees difference

Example 2

45 degrees Celsius to 55 degrees Celsius

F1 = 45 * 1.8 + 32 = 113

F2 = 55 * 1.8 + 32 = 131

F2 - F1 = 131 - 113 = 18 degrees difference

As you can see, a change of 10 degrees Celsius is always equal to a change of 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
