About Fahrenheit and Celsius
The Fahrenheit temperature scale is named for German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit and is used primarily in the United States.
The Celsius temperature scale—originally centigrade and later renamed for Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius—is used almost everywhere else in the world.

Easy Way to Convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
Instead of using F=(9/5)C+32; it is easier if you don't have a calculator to use (2)C+32-C/5.
Estimates are easy if you round to the nearest 5.
Example:
20C = 2(20)+32-20/5=40+32-4=68F
The benefit of using this formula is that it is easier to use in your head and the answer is exact; So it works in a calculator too!
My reference notes from what I learned here
Convert Celsius To Fahrenheit
20°c
1. Multiply # By 1.8
2. 20x1.8=36
3. Add (32)
4. 36+32=68
Convert Fahrenheit To Celsius
68°f
1. Subtract (32) From #
2. 68-32=36
3. Multiply by .5556 (or 5/9)
4. 36x.5556=20
4.1. Or 56 Instead Of .5556
4.2. 36x56=2016
4.3. Remove 16
Using Method 5 Divided By 9
1. Multiply By 5
2. 36x5=180
3. Divide By 9
4. Turn 9 To 10
5. 180/10
6. Half 180 To 90 And 10 To 5
7. Half 90 To 40 And 5 To 2
8. Half 40 to 20 And 2 To 1
9. 20/1=20
7. 40 is easier to half then 45
Keep going until you can't half 10 anymore or don't half 2
My notes to help remember this. Used to be good at math suck at it now
Compliment!
This was very helpful! Thanks so much!
82•F - 32 = 50 (now) 50*.556
82•F - 32 = 50 (now)
50*.556 = 27.8•C (exact)
Unless you need the EXACT
Unless you need the EXACT number, you can do a quick conversion in your head:
70F - 32 = 38 divided by 2 = 19, then add 1 or 2(remember, this is close enough, not exact)= 21C. The exact conversion would be 21.1.
Another example is 40F - 32 = 8 divided by 2 = 4C. For a lower F temperature to start with, you don't have to add much. In this case, the exact conversion is 4.4.
why is it so many formula
why is it so many formula method to convert in the different version?
F into C Subtract 32,
F into C
Subtract 32, multiplyng by 5, and Divided by 9
Ex-
50 F = C
50-32=18
18*5=90
90/9=10 C
gud to understand but update

Easiest way: Google it. Type
Easiest way: Google it. Type "convert x degrees Fahrenheit into Celsius" That goes for many measurements. For example, kg-pounds, m-inch and etc. It works both ways.
Yo ppl! Conversion of C to
Yo ppl!
Conversion of C to F.
Take the value of C, multiply it by 2.
then subtract the first digit of the answer from the answer, then simply add 32.
Example: 10C to F ?
10*2=20
20-2=18
18+32=50F
Go vice versa too.
Have fun!
This will not work is above
This will not work is above 99C or below -99 C
C to F
C+40 *9/5-40=F
F+40*5/9-40=C
will work at any temp

A nice little poem to remember for Celsius...
Zero is freezing.
10 is not.
20 is warm.
and 30 is hot!
It's even easier.... If you
It's even easier....
If you notice, the Celcius and Fahrenheit scales are equal at -40 degrees.
The conversion formula (to go either way) would be
temp = (old temp + 40) X - 40
where X is 5/9 to convert to Celcius
and X is 9/5 to convert to Fahrenheit
One formula does the trick.
To Convert 0 degrees Celcius to Fahrenheit:
temp = (0 + 40) 9/5 + 40
temp = 40 * 9/5 + 40
temp = 72 - 40
temp = 32 degrees Fahrenheit
Thank you so much! My math
Thank you so much! My math book is so complicated. Instead of just simply saying what you said, It said
F + 9/5C + 32
9/5C + 32 + F
9/5C + 32 - 32 = F -32
9/5C = F - 32
5/9 x 9/5C = 5/9(F-32)
C = 5/9(F - 32)
SO COMPLICATED!
