You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Farenheit = 9/5*Celsius + 32
.
F = 9/5*C + 32
F - 32 = 9/5*C
9/5*C = F-32
9C = 5*(F-32)
C = (5/9)*(F-32)
.
Celsius = 5/9 * (Farenheit -32)
.
Test these two equations to see if they work.
F = 212
C = (5/9)*(212-32) = (5/9)*180 = 100
Correct
.
C = -40
F = (9/5)*(-40) + 32 = -72+32 = -40
Correct.
