Originally, we thought we would create some online calculators to make this really easy to calculate values and convert data, but then it is way better to teach a person to fish then it is to give them fish. So we provide a resource to see step-by-step examples and a summary table of conversation factors that are most commonly used in earth and the biological sciences.
How to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
The temperature, T, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is equal to the temperature, T, in degrees Celsius (°C) times 9/5 plus 32:
T(°F) = [T(°C) × 9/5] + 32
or
T(°F) = [T(°C) × 1.8] + 32
Example
Convert 25 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit:
T(°F) = [25°C × 9/5] + 32 = 77 °F
How to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
The temperature, T, in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) is equal to the temperature, T, in degrees Celsius (°C) times 9/5 plus 32:
If, T(°F) = [ T(°C) × 9/5 ] + 32
Then, T(°C) = 5/9 [ (T(°F) – 32 ]
Example
Convert 77 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius:
T(°C) = 5/9 [ (T(°F) – 32] = 5/9 [ (77) – 32) ] = 5/9 ( 45 ) = 25 °C
Convert Gallons to Liters
1 gallon = 3.785 liters
1 liter = 0.2642 gallons
Cubic feet to gallons
1 cubic foot = 7.480543 gallons
1 gallon = 0.1336801 cubic feet
Acre-inches to gallons
1 acre = 43560.04 square feet
1 inch = 0.0833 feet
1 acre-in = 27154.286 gallons
1 foot = 12 inches
3 feet = 1 yard
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
1 foot = 30.48 centimeters = 304.8 millimeters = 0.3048 meters
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
