whpalmer4 · Answer

do you know the formula?

whpalmer4 · Answer

0 C = 32 F
100 C = 212 F

if you have C, to get F, multiply by 9/5 and add 32.

If you have F, to get C, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9

i dont get it

whpalmer4 · Answer

here's the formula to give you the temperature in degrees C if you have the temperature in degrees F

C = (F-32)*5/9

where F is the temperature in degrees F and C is the temperature in degrees C.

For your problem:

$$C = (F-32)*5/9 = (47-32)*5/9 = $$
