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.
Note that, due to the different scales in Celsius and Fahrenheit, just as zero degrees C and zero degrees F are not equal, neither is twice as cold. Lets make this a little easier to understand. Lets use the Celsius Scale Note: C = Celsius F= Fahrenheit Twice as cold C 0Â°C = 32Â° F 32Â°F X -2 = -64Â°F - 64Â°F = -53.33Â°C Twice as cold F
