Here's a question for all you math-minded folks out there.Question:

At what point does fahrenheit equal celsius?

Take a guess....

Answer: -40 degrees.

You have to know the formula to figure out how to convert celsius to fahrenheit. Most of us haven't done algebra for a while but it's: Fahrenheit = Celsius X 9/5 + 32.

Or t(F) = t(C)x 9/5 +32

t-9t/5 = 32
-4t/5 = 32
t= -40 (so that's the temperature where t(F) = t(C)x 9/5 + 32

So funny! Last week my kids and I were trying to figure out something similar because we saw a bank clock tell the temp in Celsius then Fahrenheit.
So thanks for schooling me!

Meh. I just pull out my iPhone and open up the "iConvert" app which converts, uh, EVERYTHING for me. Temps, volume, weight, measures, legal tender, etc.

Yay! Yeah, it's really all about remembering the formula. The equation's a snap if you do.

I do have a C/F outdoor thermometer. One glance shows the -40s line up.
