METEOROLOGIST JEFF HABY. F = 9/5*C + 32. To find the temperature both scales are equal we can use another equation and combine it with this previous equation. The equation is simply F = C. Plug in for F or C and solve. C = 9/5*C + 32. -4/5*C = 32. F = 9/5*F + 32. -4/5*F = 32. Thus, at the cold temperature of negative 40, this temperature is the same on both the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales.
On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are 100 degrees apart. A temperature interval of 1 Â°F is equal to an interval of 5â9 degrees Celsius. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales intersect at â40Â° (i.e., â40 Â°F = â40 Â°C).
