TEMPERATURE CONVERSION

Celsius = ( F 32 ) 5 9

Fahrenheit = 9 5 ( C + 32 )
= 1.8 Celsius = (F 32) 1.8 Fahrenheit = (C 1.8) + 32

Mathematical Properties

Associative Property of Addition: The sum stays the same when the grouping of addends is changed.
Associative Property of Multiplication: The product stays the same when the grouping of factors is changed.
Commutative Property of Addition: The sum stays the same when the order of the addends is changed.
Commutative Property of Multiplication: The product stays the same when the order of the factors is changed.
Distributive Property: When one of the factors of a product is written as a sum, multiplying each addend before adding does not change the product.
