Fahrenheit to Rankine
Please provide values below to convert Fahrenheit [°F] to Rankine [°R], or change ↔.
Fahrenheit [°F]
Definition: The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale where the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point is 212 degrees Fahrenheit at standard atmospheric pressure.
Historyandorigin: It was introduced by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. The scale was originally based on a mixture of ice, water, and salt.
CurrentUse: It is primarily used in the United States for everyday temperature measurements.
funfact: The Fahrenheit scale was designed so that the temperature range between the freezing and boiling points of water is divided into 180 degrees.
Rankine [°R]
Definition: The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0°R is absolute zero, and the degree increments are the same as those in the Fahrenheit scale.
Historyandorigin: It was named after the Scottish physicist William John Macquorn Rankine. It was introduced in the 19th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in some engineering applications, particularly in the United States.
funfact: The Rankine scale is similar to the Fahrenheit scale but starts at absolute zero.

How to Convert Fahrenheit to Rankine
1 Fahrenheit [°F] = 460.67 Rankine [°R]
1 Rankine [°R] = -458.67 Fahrenheit [°F]
we use cross multiplication method
Fahrenheit [°F] → Rankine [°R]
1 → 460.67
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*460.67=1*x
by simplifying
x=461.17
