Question

To convert a temperature in degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 95 and then add 32o. ls a temperature in degrees Celsius proportional to its equivalent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

The formula is

F

=

9

5

C

+

32

F

increases as

C

increases and

F

decreases as

C

decreases, but the relation is not a direct proportionality.

In mathematics, a direct proportion has the form

y

=

m

x

,

where

m

is a constant.

If the formula had been

F

=

9

5

C

it would have been a direct proportion.

However, the addition of the

+

32

term makes the formula no longer a direct proportion.

Answer 2

the easy formula to convert temperature from one parameter to another is simply......

for example to convert Celsius into Fahrenheit or vice versa
