Which of the following 2 points are equal?
- -32 degrees C and -0 degrees F.
- 40 degrees C and 40 degrees F.
- -40 degrees C and -40 degrees F.
Explanation from PART66Online
Minus forty is the single temperature where the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales coincide, since (9/5 * -40) + 32 = -40. The other pairs do not satisfy the conversion equation and so do not represent equal temperatures.
