Ans.1) In general for any given scale
(Given temperature - Lower fixed point)/Fundamental interval= Constant
Fundamental interval= Upper fixed point of the scale - Lower fixed point.
In the light of given general equation for the given question we can write
(F -32)/180= C/100
Plugging the given values you can get temperature either in Farhenheit or celcius scale as required.

Ans.2) Fahrenheit to Celsius (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C
Example 1 Convert 98.6° Fahrenheit (Normal Body Temperature!) to Celsius
First: 98.6° - 32 = 66.6 Then: 66.6× 5/9 = 333/9 = 37° C
Typical Temperatures
| °C | °F | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 212 | Water boils |
| 40 | 104 | Hot Bath |
| 37 | 98.6 | Body temperature |
| 30 | 86 | Beach weather |
| 21 | 70 | Room temperature |
| 10 | 50 | Cool Day |
| 0 | 32 | Freezing point of water |
| -18 | 0 | Very Cold Day |
| -40 | -40 | Extremely Cold Day (and the same number!) |
