John,   There's an offset between the two scales, their "zero points" don't coincide. So after you convert 1 degree c to 1.8 degrees f, you have to *add* 32.  Thus 1 degree c equals 33.8 degrees f.   Nat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of john mercer Sent: Tuesday, 2004 May 11 16:45 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:29752] temperature Hello i have a question. Is 1 degree c equal to 1.8 degreesf?  If this is true shouldn't 100 degrees c be equal to 180 degrees f.  The reason i ask this is because isn't 10 degrees c equal to 18 degrees f? Thanks a lot for your help. h
