This is wrong? Taking 20ยฐC as an example. Following this formula gives 48ยฐF when it should be 68. Could you perhaps be supposed to add 32 instead of 12?
Yeah, it's supposed to be c * 2 + 30
Nothing can go faster than the speed of light, not even fahrenheit temperature units.
Nah, the speed of light in air is faster than the speed of light in peanut butter.
yes, but that's speed of light
ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใโ )โ _โ /โ ยฏf = c * (9/5) + 32
I mean you're not wrong Walter.
The concept is that it's a formula you can do in your head most people aren't going to spend a minute trying to work out 9/5 in their head
I mean.. That's just like... Your opinion man.
Whoever downvoted your comment is a nihilist
They're out of their element.
That comment REALLY tied the thread together, Did It Not?
It really did Dude.
Thats a very close approximate and what i use when it's numbers i have to think about for 5/9 and 9/5.
Adding 32 is correct.
Thanks for noticing the typo
