Fahrenheit to Celsius (Fahrenheit temp. = (9/5)*Celsius temp. +32):
-
1
Start with a specific Fahrenheit temperature that you want converted into degrees Celsius. For example, we'll start with 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
2
Subtract 32 from the starting Fahrenheit temperature. In our example, 80-32 = 48.
-
-
3
Take that answer and multiply it by five. 48 * 5 = 240
-
4
Divide the result by nine for the final conversion. 240/9 = 26.7 degrees Celsius.
Celsius to Fahrenheit (Celsius temp. = (5/9)*(Fahrenheit temp.-32):
-
5
Start with a specific Celsius temperature that you want converted into degrees Fahrenheit. Let's use 50 degrees Celsius as the example.
-
6
Multiply the Celsius temperature by nine. 50*9 = 450
-
7
Divide that answer by five. In our example, 450/5 = 90.
-
8
Add 32 to that result to get the final conversion. 90+32 = 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thanks for the formulas, actually I even noticed something that I might have known but MEMORY gets weaker if you don't keep track of Math., now I know that like in the formulas if there's a division to be done you could go trough it without having to get the fraction result by first multiplying then dividing the numbers, kool I love Mathematics a lot, GOOD JOB!
