Measuring temperature with Mr O

In Maths we found out that Mr O was very fussy when it came to drinking. He would only drink water that was less than 12 degrees celsius so we had to measure the temperature of our school water. Luckily it was 10 degrees celsius so Mr O was able to drink it.

Then we found out that he would only drink tea that was 50 degrees celsius so we had to add hot water to our containers until it was the correct temperature.

Finally, Mr O said it was too hot as he wanted it to be just 30 degrees celsius. As a result we had to add cold water to bring the temperature back down to 30.

As well as measuring temperature in celsius we also learned that we measure it in fahrenheit. To convert a temperature from celsius to fahrenheit we double it (X2) and add 30 (+30).

e.g. 42C would be about 114F because 42 X 2 = 84, 84 + 30 = 114
