What is the F equivalent of -32C? I can’t remember the formula. Thanx.

Works out to about -25.6F. Chilly by any standards

(-32) degrees Celsius = -25.6 degrees Fahrenheit

Recalling that -40F = -40C, and noting that -32C is 8C warmer than that, and that a difference of 8C means a difference of 8*9/5 F = 72/5 F = 14.4F, we have -32C = -25.6F

TempC = (TempF - 32) * .625

TempF = TempC * 1.8 + 32

Typos galore, sorry (grrrr!)

Tc = (Tf - 32) * 5/9

Tf = (Tc * 9/5) + 32

(mutters at self...)

You don’t need to remember the formula.

If you know that water freezes at 32 F, or at 0 C

And boils at 212 F, or 100 C

Then you can immediately note that 30 to 212 F = 0 to 100 C

So 1 C = 1.8 F

It should be obvious to the casual observer, that the starting points are not the same - so,

Deg F = (1.8)Deg C +32
