12 deg F is -11.11... deg C so the difference is 5.11... degrees in the Celsius scale. However, since neither scale is absolute it would be incorrect to say that the difference is 5.11... deg C.

It would be correct to say that the difference is 5.11... Kelvin since that is an absolute scale.

All that sounds rather complicated and an illustration might help. To start with we know (or can calculate) that -40 deg C = -40 deg F.

So what is the difference between -40 deg C and -40 deg F? Since -40 deg F = -40 deg C, the difference is 0 deg on the Celsius scale. But 0 deg C is 32 deg F so does that make the difference 32 deg F? No, because the difference on the F scale is also 0 deg.

How do you find the difference between numbers?

The difference between two numbers is determined by subtracting the smaller number from the larger number. For example the difference between 12 and 9 is: 12-9=3. For negative integers, you will see that the difference is the total distance. For example, the difference between (-12) and 9 is 9-(-12) when you simplify by eliminating the double sign, the two minus signs become one plus sign: 9+12=21. More simply put, you will have to travel 12 to get from (-12) to zero, then another 9 to travel the total distance (difference) of 21.
