Like this 100 © times 9 = 900 900/5 = 180 180 + 32 = 212 (F). Do NOT ask me why I can remember this (which I almost NEVER use), but can't remember the 'address' of Scriptures I use ALL THE TIME!!! -42C X 9 = -378 -378/5 = -75.6 + 32 = -43.6F I have pee'd outdoors in -53 farenheit, and can assure you that water at 98.6F, WILL FREEZE before hitting the ground......

This works because at -40 degrees, C and F are the same. So: 77 F + 40 = 117 117/9 = 13 13 x 5 = 65 65 - 40 = 25 C 77 F = 25 C and 40 C + 40 = 80 80/5 = 16 16 x 9 = 144 144 - 40 = 104 F 40 C = 104 F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
