** Caution: EXTERNAL Sender ** Hi,

These two cancel, but next to last line should be 4F = -160. You may wish to reissue. My abject apologies to all. I probably mixed up the 9/5 for F/C with the 8/5 for km/mi conversion. I believe the corrected form should be C = (F-32) 5/9 but where C=F F = (F-32) 5/9 9F = (F-32)5 9F = 5F-160 4F = -160 F = -40 = C Thanks for pointing this out, John.

They are equal at -40 °C and -40 °F.
