Module 2. Physics

One degree increment on the Centigrade scale is equal to what increment on the Fahrenheit scale?

  • 1.8 degrees F.
  • 33 degrees F.
  • 12 degrees F.

Explanation

There are 100 Celsius degrees but 180 Fahrenheit degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water, so each Celsius degree spans 180/100 = 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees. The 33 degreesF value confuses the size of a degree with the freezing-point reading.

THIS IS WRONG.
C=5/9(F-32)
THEN IT IS 33C
