Temperature conversion (°C ↔ °F)

ptce/calc/temp-conversion · integrity: practice_only

Claim

Pharmacy storage and product checks use both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Convert with °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 and °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Pair conversions with the product’s labeled storage range (refrigerated products are commonly labeled around 2–8 °C / 36–46 °F) rather than memorizing only one scale — always prefer the specific label.

Plain

F = C×9/5 + 32. C = (F−32)×5/9. Fridge labels often ~2–8 °C / 36–46 °F — confirm the product label.
