    Celsius to Fahrenheit
    Hi, can anyone tell me the most accurate way to convert Celsius into Fahrenheit without the use of a calculator? Someone told me to double the temp in Celsius then add 30, but this is a very rough conversion.
    Any help would be great, thanks.:)

    To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit; take the degrees in Celsius and multiply it by nine-fifths. Then add thurty two.

    For example: Celsius degree of 100 degrees. Multiplied by nine-fifths = 180 degrees. Adding the thirty two = 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Another method is to take the Celsius degree, add forty, then multiply by nine-fifths, then subtract forty. So 100 degrees + 40 = 140. 140 x 9/5 = 252. 252-40 = 212.

    F = (9/5)*C + 32
    To go back from C to F
    C = (5/9) * (F-32)

    Hope this helps

    Hey that's real easy, use Google.
    It's a little known fact that Google can be used for convertions and other maths functions.
    Have a look at this: Google Help : Search Features
    And this

    Yeah Google is great for all of this kind of stuff. Especially currency conversion which is all nicely up to date :)
