Conversión de temperatura

Conversion of Temperature


Quick Celsius (°C) / Fahrenheit (°F) Conversion:

Conversion Tool
Just type a value in either box:
°C:    <=>   °F: 


Or this method:
°F to °CDeduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9
°C to °FMultiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32

Typical Temperatures

°C°FDescription
100212Water boils
40104Hot Bath
3798.6Body temperature
3086Beach weather
2170Room temperature
1050Cool Day
032Freezing point of water
-180Very Cold Day
-40-40Extremely Cold Day (and the same number!)
(bold are exact)

Explanation

There are two main temperature scales:
  • °F, the Fahrenheit Scale (used in the US), and
  • °C, the Celsius Scale (part of the Metric System, used in most other countries)
They both measure the same thing (temperature!), but use different numbers:
  • Boiling water (at normal pressure) measures 100° in Celsius, but 212° in Fahrenheit
  • And as water freezes it measures 0° in Celsius, but 32° in Fahrenheit
Like this:
Looking at the diagram, notice:
  • The scales start at a different number (0 vs 32), so we will need to add or subtract 32
  • The scales rise at a different rate (100 vs 180), so we will also need to multiply
And this is how it works out:
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, first multiply by 180/100, then add 32
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, first subtract 32, then multiply by 100/180

Note: 180/100 can be simplified to 9/5, and likewise 100/180=5/9, so this is the easiest way:
°C to °FMultiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32
°F to °CDeduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9

We can write that as a formula like this:
Celsius to Fahrenheit
(°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F
Fahrenheit to Celsius
(°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C

Example: Convert 26° Celsius (a nice warm day) to Fahrenheit

First: 26° × 9/5 = 234/5 = 46.8
Then: 46.8 + 32 = 78.8° F

Example: Convert 98.6° Fahrenheit (normal body temperature) to Celsius

First: 98.6° - 32 = 66.6
Then: 66.6 × 5/9 = 333/9 = 37° C

 

Other Methods That Work

Use 1.8 instead of 9/5

9/5 is equal to 1.8, so you could also use this method:
Celsius to Fahrenheit:
°C × 1.8 + 32 = °F
Fahrenheit to Celsius:
(°F - 32) / 1.8 = °C
To make "×1.8" easier you can multiply by 2 and subtract 10%, but it only works for °C to °F:
Celsius to Fahrenheit:
(°C × 2) less 10% + 32 = °F

Example: Convert 20° Celsius (A nice day) to Fahrenheit

  • 20x2 = 40
  • less 10% is 40-4 = 36
  • 36+32 = 68° F

Add 40, Multiply, Subtract 40

Since both scales cross at -40° (-40° C equals -40° F) you can:
  • add 40,
  • multiply by 5/9 (for °F to °C), or 9/5 (for °C to °F)
  • subtract 40

Example: Convert 10° Celsius (A cool day) to Fahrenheit

  • 10+40 = 50
  • 50×9/5 = 90
  • 90-40 = 50° F
To remember 9/5 for °C to °F think "F is greater than C, so there are more °F than °C"

Quick, but Not Accurate

Celsius to Fahrenheit:
Double, then add 30
Fahrenheit to Celsius:
Subtract 30, then halve
Examples °C → °F:
  • 0° C → 0+30 → 30° F (low by 2°)
  • 10° C → 20+30 → 50° F (exact!)
  • 30° C → 60+30 → 90° F (high by 4°)
  • 180° C → 360+30 → 390° F (high by 34°, not good)
Examples °F → °C:
  • 40° F → 10/2 → 5° C (almost right)
  • 80° F → 50/2 → 25° C (low by about 2°)
  • 120° F → 90/2 → 45° C (low by about 4°)
  • 450° F → 420/2 → 210° C (low by about 22°, not good)

Campeonas

En nuestra clase de 5th grado, tenemos auténticas campeonas en distintas disciplinas deportivas, como por ejemplo Alaina S. y Christine K. en natación, y Jacquelyn P. en gimnasia, entre otros. Gracias a estas fotos, podemos hacernos una idea de los logros conseguidos por estas fantásticas deportistas. Si siguen entrenando y trabajando duro, ¿quién sabe? quizás algún día podamos verlos el los Juegos Olímpicos.

Fracciones


A circle is a geometric shape that we have seen in other lessons. The circle to the left can be used to represent one whole. We can divide this circle into equal parts as shown below.

This circle has been divided into 2 equal parts.
This circle has been divided into 3 equal parts.
This circle has been divided into 4 equal parts.


We can shade a portion of a circle to name a specific part of the whole as shown below.
Definition:fraction names part of a region or part of a group. The top number of a fraction is called its numerator and the bottom part is itsdenominator.
So a fraction is the number of shaded parts divided by the number of equal parts as shown below:
number of shaded parts   numerator
number of equal parts      denominator
Looking at the numbers above, we have:
There are two equal parts, giving a denominator of 2. One of the parts is shaded, giving a numerator of 1.
There are three equal parts, giving a denominator of 3. Two of the parts are shaded, giving a numerator of 2.
There are four equal parts, giving a denominator of 4. One of the parts is shaded, giving a numerator of 1.


Note that the fraction bar means to divide the numerator by the denominator. Let's look at some more examples of fractions. In examples 1 through 4 below, we have identified the numerator and the denominator for each shaded circle. We have also written each fraction as a number and using words.


Example 1
one-half
Example 2
one-third
two-thirds

Example 3
one-fourth
two-fourths
three-fourths

Example 4
one-fifth
two-fifths
three-fifths
four-fifths


Why is the number  written as three-fourths? We use a hyphen to distinguish a fraction from a ratio. For example, "The ratio of girls to boys in a class is 3 to 4." This ratio is written a 3 to 4, or 3:4. We do not know how many students are in the whole class. However, the fraction  is written as three-fourths (with a hyphen) because 3 is 3/4 of one whole. Thus a ratio names a relationship, whereas, a fraction names a number that represents the part of a whole. When writing a fraction, a hyphen is always used.
It is important to note that other shapes besides a circle can be divided in equal parts. For example, we can let a rectangle represent one whole, and then divide it into equal parts as shown below.

two equal parts
three equal parts
four equal parts
five equal parts

Remember that a fraction is the number of shaded parts divided by the number of equal parts. In the example below, rectangles have been shaded to represent different fractions.

Example 5
one-half
one-third
one-fourth
one-fifth

The fractions above all have the same numerator. Each of these fractions is called a unit fraction.
Definition:unit fraction is a fraction whose numerator is one. Each unit fraction is part of one whole (the number 1). The denominator names that part. Every fraction is a multiple of a unit fraction.

In examples 6 through 8, we will identify the fraction represented by the shaded portion of each shape.
Example 6
In example 6, there are four equal parts in each rectangle. Three sections have been shaded in each rectangle, but not the same three. This was done intentionally to demonstrate that any 3 of the 4 equal parts can be shaded to represent the fraction three-fourths.
b


Example 7
abIn example 7, each circle is shaded in different sections. However, both circles represent the fraction two-thirds. The value of a fraction is not changed by which sections are shaded.


Example 8
In example 8, each rectangle is shaded in different sections. However, both rectangles represent the fraction two-fifths. Once again, the value of a fraction is not changed by which sections are shaded.
b


In the examples above, we demonstrated that the value of a fraction is not changed by which sections are shaded. This is because a fraction is thenumber of shaded parts divided by the number of equal parts.

Let's look at some more examples.
Example 9
Example 10
Example 12
Example 11
In example 9, the circle has been shaded horizontally; whereas, in example 10, the circle was shaded vertically. The circles in both examples represent the same fraction, one-half. The positioning of the shaded region does not change the value of a fraction.

In example 11, the rectangle is positioned horizontally; whereas in example 12, the rectangle is positioned vertically. Both rectangles represent the fraction four-fifths. The positioning of a shape does not change the value of the fraction it represents.

Remember that a fraction is the number of shaded parts divided by thenumber of equal parts.


In example 13, we will write each fraction using words. Place your mouse over the red text to see if you got it right.

Summary:A fraction names part of a region or part of a group. A fraction is the number of shaded parts divided by the number of equal parts. The numerator is the number above the fraction bar, and the denominator is the number below the fraction bar.
