In the metric system of weights and measures, temperature is measured in degrees Celsius ('C) instead of degrees Fahrenheit ("F). To convert between the two systems, we use the equations $$c=\frac{5}{9}(F-32) \text { and } F=\frac{9}{5} C+32$$ In each exercise, convert to the other system. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a degree if necessary. $$200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$

Key Concepts

Rounding

Rounding is the practice of simplifying a numerical value to a specified degree of precision, which is particularly useful in practical applications where exact values are less critical than usability and clarity. In temperature conversions, results are often rounded to the nearest tenth to provide a balance between accuracy and ease of interpretation.

Linear Transformation

In the context of converting temperatures, a linear transformation is used to map values from one scale to another. This involves operations such as scaling (multiplication by a constant) and translation (adding a constant), reflecting the fact that the relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit is linear.

Unit Conversion

Unit conversion is the process of translating a quantity from one measurement system to another while preserving its value. This is achieved through multiplication by conversion factors and sometimes adding or subtracting constants. It is critical in science and daily life to ensure consistent measurements across different unit systems.

Temperature Scales

Temperature scales are systems for measuring thermal energy, with Celsius and Fahrenheit being two primary examples. Each scale has its own reference points for freezing and boiling water, and their linear relationship allows for a straightforward conversion between them using a scaling factor and an offset.
