The Fahrenheit scale was based on freezing water when salt and ice were mixed together. This happened at what is now 0F. The scale upper number was set to the temperature of the human body at about 100F. When the scale was refined then water froze at 32F and boiled at 212F. 212 minus 32 equals 180. Since the C scale is based on water's freezing and boiling points, or 0C and 100C, the relationship is 100/180, or 5/9. The -32 simply zeros out the two scales. Cirric
