20º Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula 

Celsius and Fahrenheit are the scales of temperature. Temperature scales provide a way of measuring how hot or cold a body is. Celsius or centigrade is a scale in which water freezes at 0° Celsius and boils at 100° Celsius. The symbol used for Celsius is °C.  On the Fahrenheit temperature scale, water freezes at 32° Fahrenheit and boils at 212° Fahrenheit. The symbol used for Fahrenheit is °F. 20 celsius can be converted to Fahrenheit using the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula. Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula for a given value can be expressed as,

F = (9/5)C+32

where,

• C is the temperature given on a centigrade scale, and
• F is the temperature obtained in Fahrenheit after conversion.

What is 20º Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula?

As discussed above, Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula for a given value can be expressed as,

F = (9/5)C + 32

The 20º Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula of a given temperature can be expressed by replacing the C in the above formula with the given temperature in the centigrade scale, i.e, 20ºC.

20ºC = (9/5)20 + 32 = 68ºF

where F is the temperature obtained in Fahrenheit after conversion.

Examples Using 20º Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula

Example 1: The temperature of the water is 20º Celsius. Using the suitable conversion formula, convert 20º Celsius To Fahrenheit.

Solution: 

To find: Temperature of water in Fahrenheit scale.

Given:

Temperature of water = 20º Celsius

Using 20º Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula,

F = (9/5)20 + 32

= 68 Fahrenheit.

Answer: The temperature of water in Fahrenheit is 68.

Example 2: Celsius and Fahrenheit are the scales of temperature. Using suitable conversion formulas, compare the temperatures 20°C and 20°F.

Solution: 

To find: comparison between 20°C and 20°F

Using 20º Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula, 20ºC can be converted to Fahrenheit scale as,

F = (9/5)20 + 32

= 68 Fahrenheit

Thus, comparing 20°C( = 68° F) and 20°F, we get

20°C > 20°F

Answer: 20°C > 20°F, which means for the same numerical value, the temperature in the Celsius scale is more than the temperature in the Fahrenheit scale.
