TEMPERATURE
(°F-32) x 5/9 = °C
1 degree Celsius (1°C) = 1/100 of the difference between the boiling and freezing
points of pure water at sea level. 0°C is freezing point; 100°C is boiling point.
HINT: To convert °F to °C (Multiply degrees x 2) + 30
Example: 20 Celsius x 2 + 30 = 70° Fahrenheit
In metric, volume and weight and size are inter-related: 1 litre water weighs
1 kilogram and would fill a 10 centimetre cube. Similarly, 1 ml water weighs 1 g
and equals 1 cm3 (cubic centimetre).
DRIVING SPEED
50 km/h is the speed limit on most urban streets. This equates to 30 mph.
80 or 90 km/h is the speed limit on most rural highways. These limits equate to
50 and 55 mph respectively.
100 or 110 km/h is the speed limit on most rural controlled access highways.
These limits equate to 65 and 70 mph respectively.
