Title: Metric temperatures conversion Post by: Hamlet on August 28, 2001, 04:00:00 AM All,
The conversion formula for Fairenheit to Celsius that I remember from 8th grade science class is 5F = 9C + 160. When I travel abroad it would be nice to have some easier - even if less specific - formula that would let me convert temperatures in my head quickly when I hear the weather report for the day. Any suggestions?

For celsius to Fairenheit: F = (9/5)*C + 32 For Fairenheit to Celsius: C = (5/9)*(F - 32) Or http://www.worldwidemetric.com/metcal.htm And some electronic translators have a built in function for doing it. |
