Degrees Centigrade / Celsius

Boiling point of water 100ºC

Freezing point of water 0ºC

Normal body temperature 37ºC

Degrees Fahrenheit

Boiling point of water 212ºF

Freezing point of water 32ºF

Normal body temperature 98.6ºF

To convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit:

multiply by 9, divide by 5, and add 32.

(e.g.: 20ºC x 9 = 180;

180 ÷ 5 = 36; 36 + 32 = 68ºF)

To convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade:

subtract 32, multiply by 5, and

divide by 9.
