Convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade

The Formula is C = 5/9 * (F-32)

Example 1: Convert 212F to C

1. Subtract 32 from 212, to get 180
2. Divide by 9, to get 20
3. Multiply by 5, to get 100C (don't forget the units)
4. WE ARE DONE

Example 2: Convert 104F to C

1. Subtract 32 from 104, to get 72
   
2. Divide by 9, to get 8
   
3. Multiply by 5, to get 40C (don't forget the units)
   
4. WE ARE DONE
   
   

Convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit

The Formula is F = 9/5 * C + 32

Example 3: Convert 100C to F

1. Divide 100 by 5, to get 20
2. Multiply by 9, to get 180
3. Add 32, to get 212F (don't forget the units)
4. WE ARE DONE

Example 4: Convert 40C to F

1. Divide 40 by 5, to get 8
2. Multiply by 9, to get 72
3. Add 32, to get 104F (don't forget the units)
4. WE ARE DONE
