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.

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