The boiling point of water is $100^\circ$100°C or $212^\circ$212°F.
Let's watch this video on converting between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit.
To convert °C to °F —► Multiply by $9$9, divide by $5$5, then add $32$32.
To convert °F to °C —► Subtract $32$32, then multiply by $5$5 and divide by $9$9.
