Converting Temperature

Fahrenheit – °F, used in US

Celcius – °C, metric system

* Both measure temperature

Freezing:

Boiling:

°F → °C : $(\degree F-32)\times\frac{5}{9}=\degree C$

°C → °F : $(\degree C\times\frac{9}{5})+32=\degree F$

What is the celcius equivalent of 100 °F?

$(\degree F-32)\times\frac{5}{9}=\degree C$

$(100\degree F-32)\times\frac{5}{9}=\degree C$

$37.78\degree C$
