The difference between the freezing and boiling point of water on the Fahrenheit scale is equal to (9 / 5) x 100 = 180 degrees. The freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, or zero degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, or 100 degrees Celsius.

How many Fahrenheits are in a degree?
You are mixing apples and oranges. A degree is a unit of measure. How big the unit is depends upon the scale. Fahreheit is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 180 degrees between boiling and freezing temperature of water. Celsius is a scale of temperature measurement. There are 100 degrees between boiling and freezing termperature of water.
How many Celsius degrees are there between the freezing point and the boiling point of water'?
There are 100 degrees Celsius between the freezing point (0°C) and the boiling point (100°C) of water.
How many degrees are there between the melting point of ice and boiling point of water?
The ice point and steam point that you refer to are called the boiling and freezing point. Each substance has a different boiling and freezing point, though for water it is 0 degrees Celsius is freezing and 100 degrees Celsius is boiling. Or if you use Fahrenheit, it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit for freezing and 212 degrees Fahrenheit for boiling. So depending on what system of measurement you use for temperature, the number of degrees separating the boiling and freezing points of water can be 100 degrees for Celsius or 180 degrees for Fahrenheit.
How do celsius and Fahrenheit express freezing and boiling points of water differently?
Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and boiling point at 100 degrees, while Fahrenheit scale sets the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and boiling point at 212 degrees. This creates a difference of 32 degrees between the freezing and boiling points in Fahrenheit, compared to 100 degrees in Celsius.
What is the halfway point between the boiling point and the freezing point?
The halfway point between the boiling point and the freezing point of a substance is its melting point. At this temperature, the substance changes from solid to liquid or vice versa.
