No, *9/5+32=28.4; if you're gonna do math, might as well do it right. Joel Send a noteboard - 08/12/2010 03:27:49 AM
I'm not being snippy, really; you can figure it out precisely as easily as estimating, so why be vague? It's not linear regression with fifty data points; you do three operations (two if you feel like multiplying by 1.8). If you're used to Fahrenheit there's actually one less number to remember; how do you turn 100 into 180? Multiply by 1.8 or 9/5. Then you add the 32; if you use Fahrenheit and don't know water freezes at 32 and boils at 212, you've got bigger problems than temperature conversion. :P
