Converting Temperatures
Convert degrees Fahrenheit (F) to degrees Celsius (C) by
following this simple formula: Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit
temperature reading. Then, multiply that number by 519.
For example, 77F - 32 = 45. 45 x 5Al = 25C.
To convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit , multiply the
Celsius temperature reading by 9;5. Then, add 32. For example,
25C x 9;5 = 45. 45 + 32 = 77F.
