#color(blue)("Fahrenheit temperature "=(29xx9/5)+32 = 84.2^o F )#

Explanation:

The numbers to remember are 5, 9 and 32

Fahrenheit are the lager number when comparing like temperature for like. So to convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit, you need to make the numbers bigger. Thus you multiply by #9/5#. To go from Fahrenheit to centigrade you are making the numbers smaller so you multiply by #5/9#

All you need to remember now is that freezing point for each is different.

Centigrade freezing point is #0^o#
Fahrenheit freezing point is #32^o#

We are going from Centigrade to Fahrenheit so it is small number to large. So we have #color(blue)(xx9/5)#

We are changing freezing point from 0 on 1 scale to 32 on a different scale so we now have:

#color(blue)(xx9/5+32)#

Thus the full conversion is:

#color(blue)("Fahrenheit temperature "=(29xx9/5)+32 = 84.2^o F )#

#"84.2"^@"F"#

Explanation:

An useful formula:

#(""^@"F"-32)/9 = (""^@"C")/5#

So that...

#(""^@"F"-32)/9 = 29/5#

#5xx""^@"F"= 421"#

#""^@"F"= 84.2"#
