Questions and answers
What is the formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Multiply by 9/5 (or 1.8) and add 32: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. For example, 25 °C × 1.8 + 32 = 77 °F. The other way: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.
Is there a quick way to estimate it?
Double the Celsius and add 30. It gives 80 for 25 °C (the real answer is 77 °F), close enough for weather but not for cooking or medicine.
At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit the same?
At −40. Minus 40 °C is exactly minus 40 °F; it is the only point where the two scales meet.
