You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since you have the formula, you can just plug in the farenheit in the place where it says farenheit in the formula.
C=5%2F9%2A%28212-32%29
C=5%2F9%2A%28180%29
C=100
Just some extra information, 100ºC is the boiling point of water, like 212ºF.
0ºC is the freezing point of water, like 32ºF.
Hope this helps!
