Please 3
Please help; I'm lost! I'm calculating the difference between two Fahrenheit degrees 55 °F - 37 °F = 18 °F
Now, if I convert the degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius before subtracting, we get 12.78 °C —2.78 =10 °C. How is that possible when 18 °F does not equal 10 °C? Could you please explain?

For temperature intervals rather than specific temperatures, 1 °F = 5/9 °C
