#50^@F = color(green)(10^@C)#

Explanation:

#{: (,"Fahrenheit","Celsius"), ("boiling point",212^@F,100^@C), ("freezing point",32^@F,0^@C), ("difference", 180F^@,100C^@) :}#

So
#color(white)("XXX")180 F^@=100C^@#

#color(white)("XXX")1F^@=100/180C^@#

#50^@F#
#color(white)("XXX")# is #50^@F-32^@F#
#color(white)("XXXX")=18F^@# above freezing.

#18F^@ = 18xx100/180C^@=10C^@#

#10C^@# above freezing is #10^@C#
