40° C = 104° F
98° F = 36.7° C
25° C = 77° F
78° F = 25.6° C
39° F = 3.9° C
18° C = 64.4° F
88° F = 31.1° C
65° F = 48.2° C
9° C = 18.3° F

Temperature Ranges

Back 5

Frozen - Below 0°C
Refrigerated - 0 to 5°C
Controlled (aka, Normal) Room Temperature - 15 to 25°C
Warm Room - 30 to 35°C
Extreme Heat - above 35°C

5° Celsius = ___° Fahrenheit
Converting °C to °F means we use this formula: °F = °C x (9/5) + 32
Plug in your value: °F = 5 x (9/5) + 32

Calculate: always multiply the fraction before adding 32
°F = (5/1) x (9/5) + 32
°F = (45/5) + 32
°F = 9 + 32
Answer = 41° Fahrenheit

Front 7

86° Fahrenheit = _____° Celsius
Converting °F to °C means we use this formula: °C = (°F-32) x (5/9)
Plug in your value: °C = (86-32) x (5/9)
Calculate: °C = 54 x (5/9)

Ok, now we're just multiplying 2 fractions, remember?
°C = (54/1) x (5/9)
°C = 270/9
°C = 30
Answer = 30° Celsius
