@Jeff_Hager no glide math :stuck_out_tongue:

Here is how to do the conversion

To convert temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by .5556 (or 5/9).

40 c & 40 f I’m guessing

Close but no cigar. Thanks for playing! :money_mouth_face:

haha, Wiz wasn’t close at all!
40C is very hot, and 40F is very cold :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m thinking this is a trick question… I don’t think they can ever be equal.
I can recall learning (many many) years ago about the time we switched from F to C in Australia that a rough conversion from C to F is to double it and add 32. So given that, no matter what you have for C, F is going to be at least 32 more…

I promise there is an answer. If you show your work you could have another guess :innocent:

oh, wait… I’m an idiot, hahaha :rofl:

Using my own formula: -32 * 2 + 32 = -32

duh! (that’s an approximation)

nah, that’s not right at all :stuck_out_tongue:

You use 32, not 30. And it’s not quite half. That’s why -32 is an approximation.

I learned this in school, but without doing any math or cheating, I’m gonna go with -20 or -25.

I’m determined not to google it, but I’m confident that the answer is -32 +/- a few degrees
