How degrees

The answer is given below Cover it with hand

would be 228a degrees below The proper
starting point is absolute in the Fahrenheit scale,
1854 degrees. At this point there absolutely
warmth To this 459 Degrees dsregardng the fraction
must add the two degrees above mentioned In the prob
therefore 461 degrees If temperature that twice
cold this is half divide the 46l degrees by
