Worked Examples

Example 1 — Freezing Point of Water

• (0 × 9 ÷ 5) + 32
• = 32°F

Example 2 — Boiling Point of Water

• (100 × 9 ÷ 5) + 32
• = 212°F

Example 3 — Warm Summer Day

• 30°C × 9 ÷ 5 + 32
• = 86°F

Example 4 — Comfortable Room

• (68 − 32) × 5 ÷ 9
• = 20°C

Common Temperature Reference Table

Where Temperature Conversion Is Used

Interesting Temperature Facts

• Water freezes at 0°C (32°F).
• Water boils at 100°C (212°F) at sea level.
• Average human body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F).
• Typical room temperature is 20–22°C (68–72°F).
• -40°C equals exactly -40°F.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to add or subtract 32.
• Using the wrong conversion formula.
• Confusing Celsius with Fahrenheit when reading weather reports.
• Rounding values too early.
• Assuming temperatures have the same numeric value in both scales.

This calculator uses the standard international conversion formulas to provide fast and accurate temperature conversions every time.
