Looks like you've remembered your Science classes Ron...very accurately, I might add.

    the actual conversion is F = (9/5)*C +32.  
    You can test the conversion factor easilly.  
    -40F = -40C and  212 F = 100 C. (simultaneous equation solving on those two is how the conversion formula is derived)


  Not to quibble (he quibbled) , the two conditions for which the equation was developed were the freezing point and boiling point of water.  0C = 32F and 100C = 212F.  -40F or C was a result of the equation, not a criteria in its development.

        We don't know what 38C is. Sounds cold. Happy NewYear.         Nat
      Easy way approximation:

      F=(Cx2) + 30

      F=(38x2) + 30

      F= 106 = Damn hot!
