Similarity, 100° C is boiling compared with 212°F. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit you need to multiply the temperature in Celsius by 1.8, and then add 32 to it. ( °F = 1.8 × (°C) + 32) To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius you do the opposite. Subtract 32 from the temperature and then divide by 1.8. `°C = °abD8 c <.= 3.5 Algebra For the algebra section you should be familiar with solving unknowns in equations and graphing linear equations. • Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities • Ratios and Proportions • Coordinate Plane • Linear Functions
