Subsection 2.8.3 Temperature Conversions

These formulas allow you to convert temperatures between different scales. :

Table 2.8.8.

Celsius to Fahrenheit	° F = 9/5 ( ° C) + 32
Kelvin to Fahrenheit	° F = 9/5 (K - 273) + 32
Fahrenheit to Celsius	° C = 5/9 (° F - 32)
Celsius to Kelvin	K = ° C + 273
Kelvin to Celsius	° C = K - 273
Fahrenheit to Kelvin	K = 5/9 (° F - 32) + 273
