Hmmm your right, funny, I was still able to convert 100 to 212 with that equation.
W/e we are getting off topic so lets go on.
- How to approximate the conversion of Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius with mental math.
- Subtract 32o to adjust for the offset in the Fahrenheit scale.
- Divide the Celsius temperature by 2 (multiply by 0.5).
- Take 1/10 of this number (0.5 * 1/10 = 0.05) and add it from the number above.
- Example: convert 98.6o F to Celsius.
98.6 - 32 = 66.6
66.6 * 1/2 = 33.3
33.3 * 1/10 = 3.3
33.3 + 3.3 = 36.6 which is an approximation of the Celsius temperature
