How to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Rankine
Use the formula °R = °F + 459.67. Temperature scales have different zero points, so you cannot simply multiply by a single factor.
°R = °F + 459.67
Example
To convert 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Rankine: apply the formula above = 558.27 °R.
