Converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius involves more than simple addition or subtraction of 32. Although 0 degrees Celsius is indeed 32 degrees Fahrenheit, -32 degrees Celsius is not 0 degrees Fahrenheit, it is actually -25.6 degrees Fahrenheit. To convert between the two you need to take into account that 100 degrees Celsius is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and 212 - 32 is 180. Thus the scales are not only offset by 32, they are also offset by 100/180, which reduces to 5/9.

Therefore, to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, you first subtract 32 and then multiply by 100/180 (5/9). And to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you first multiply by 180/100 (9/5) and then add 32.

Can o- plus rh plus make a blood type a plus?

Blood type O cannot make blood type A unless another contributor's blood type is A because type O is recessive while A is dominant. For example, two type O's can only make blood type O. As for the rh plus or rh negative, since rh plus is dominant, type O- is capable of yielding a positive blood type if another contributor has a postive blood type. Simply adding rh plus will only change the blood type to O+. In other words, O- plus rh plus cannot make blood type A+ unless another contributor has A themself. Look up Punnett squares for blood types if this is just more confusing.
