Temperature Conversion

Read and memorize the following information

centigrade thermometer [´sentigreid] - термометр Цельсия, термометр со стоградусной шкалой

Celsius [´selsj∋s] – шкала Цельсия

Fahrenheit [‘fær∋nhait] - Фаренгейт

degree - градус

15 ⁰C (Centigrade) – 15 ⁰ по Цельсию

80 ⁰F (Fahrenheit) – 80 ⁰ по Фаренгейту (27 ⁰ по Цельсию)

Officially temperature is measured in degrees Centigrade (⁰C), but Britain and some other countries also use degrees Fahrenheit (⁰F).

Figure 1

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius subtract 32 ⁰, multiply by 5 and divide by 9.

70 ⁰F - 32 ⁰=38 ⁰ * 5=190 ⁰ : 9 = 21⁰C

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit multiply by 9, divide by 5 and add 32 ^0.

21 ⁰C * 9 = 189 ⁰ : 5=38 ⁰ + 32 ⁰= 70 ⁰F

Fulfil these tasks:

1. Convert 80 ⁰ Fahrenheit to Celsius.

2. Convert 17 ⁰ Centigrade to Fahrenheit.
