To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the following formula:
F = (C × 9/5) + 32
In this case, if we substitute 0 degrees Celsius into the formula, it will look like this:
F = (0 × 9/5) + 32
Calculating this step-by-step:
- First, multiply 0 by 9/5, which gives you 0.
- Next, add 32 to that result.
So, F = 0 + 32 = 32.
Therefore, 0 degrees Celsius is equal to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is significant as it is the freezing point of water, meaning that at this temperature, water starts to freeze in the form of ice.
This conversion is useful in various contexts, such as cooking, weather reporting, and scientific measurements, where one might need to switch between these two temperature scales.
