MSC Origins Part VI: Transfer to M. Paulino

In a short span of less than two years, the Jesusa Building along A. Flores St. which housed MSC on the second floor (and Monte de Piedad Savings Bank on the first floor) in 1989 became too small for the growing number of MSC students.  In October 1991, MSC transferred to a bigger site along M. Paulino St.

Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the following formula,

                C = 5/9 (F – 32) = 10/18 (F – 32)

h

The trick here is to recognize that 5/9 is the same as 10/18.  Hence after deducting 32, we add a zero (multiply by 10) to the result and successively dividing by 2 and 9 (MSC 11 – Dividing by 9) to effectively divide by 18.

MSC 11 – Division by 9

Most of us want to avoid the number 9 in almost all calculations. But we can make calculations easier by thinking of 9 as (10 – 1). This fact is particularly useful in division by 9.

Dividing-by-9

Every 10 contains a 9 and a remainder of 1. So every multiple of ten that is less than 90 will have a quotient and remainder equal to its tens digit.
