Question

A one-step conversion is sufficient to convert a temperature in the celcius scale to the kelvin scale, but not the fahrenheit scale?

Answer 1

Answer:

A one-step conversion is not sufficient to convert a temperature in the Celcius scale to the Fahrenheit scale.

Explanation:

Hello!

To convert a temperature in the Celcius scale to the Kelvin scale we required just one-step conversion, because we consider that the first scale derives from the second scale.

Celcius scale begins at 0 degrees (0°C), wich coincides with the melting point of the ice, and ends at 100 degrees (100 °C) with the point of water boiling point.

Fahrenheit scale determines that the freezing point of water is located at 32 degrees (32°F) and its boiling point at 212 degrees (212°F). This situation causes a 180 degree interval between the two points.

For this reason, to calculate how many Fahrenheit degrees has a certain temperature expressed in Celcius degrees, we have to multiply the X degrees Celcius (°C) by 1.8, and then add 32 to the previously obtained result.

°F= (X°C x 1.8) + 32
