Antigens in the blood determine:
blood oxygen capacity |
|
negative or positive status |
|
blood type |
|
Rh factor |
Blood is categorized into four different types (A, B, AB, and O) based on the type of antigens found on the outside of the red blood cells. Additionally, each type can be negative or positive based on whether or not the cells have an antigen called the Rh factor.

-40°F is how many °C?
-8 |
|
\(-{40 \over 9}\) |
|
\({40 \over 9}\) |
|
-40 |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)
\(C° = -40\)
