Getting Celsius and Fahrenheit straight
redone 7-09-14 - A bit writ on this


Temperature converter and some history

The chart I made for myself goes from 10 to 40 Celsius for Asia. All I have to do is remember any point and add or subtract 9 to/from Fahrenheit for every 5 Celsius and 1.8 for every degree if desired (mostly rounding to 2). Easier than the 5/9  times or 9/5 times + or -32
