F = Farenheit temperature scale
China use C, the Celcius temperature scale
9*C/5 = F-32
hopefully you were looking for a literal explanation |

just remember that 0C = 32F, 10C = 50F, and 25C = 77F, then u know if it's cold, warm or hot. |

Shouldn't it be:
Then you know when it's freezing, bearable, or kinda hot?
Guess it depends where you come from  |

my junionr high school science teacher taught me a quick trick that I never forgot... basically just double F and add 30. Yes I know the whole 9/5 + 32... but in normal life, double and add 30 is within a few percentage points 95% of the time. So just stick to that. |
