It should be C=F*1.8+32, shouldn't it?

That's another method. I tested mine 9 times.

I've tested your formula.  It doesn't quite work.
Given:
F=32
C=0

32/1.8 =/= 0.
0*1.8 =/= 32.

It's a linear equation, there is only one solution.

Oh yeah, I forgot to test it with 0. It only works with 1˚C or 33˚F or higher.

1*1.8 doesn't equal the correct solution either.  It never works.  As I said, it's a linear equation.  Only one solution.  F=C*(9/5)+32.  (Sorry if this comes across as a bit harsh, but there really is only one solution)

Is celsius the metric system? Thats what I use.

Indeed I believe it is.  I also believe the U.S. is the only country that uses Fahrenheit.  Weirdos.

In canada we really only use the metric system for measuring things. No way!!! What I mean is like when you use a ruler, to measure distances and then the temperature. We use pounds for weight still, and are grams metric, or universal?

Grams are metric (which might as well be universal).  Pounds are customary though.
