Celsius can be converted to Fahrenheit quickly by doubling
the Celsius number and adding 30 (i.e. 30 ° C x 2 = 60
+ 30 = approximately 90 ° F ). Sorry, this doesn't
work for negative numbers but this one does ( ° C x 1.8)
+ 32 = ° F
|
|
If you want an exact conversion, use ( ° F - 32) x 5/9
= ° C

|

Mr. Fahrenheit, at that time, was the only glass blower
that could blow a symmetrical, thin cylinder (thermometer)
to record temperatures. He set -32 ° F as his starting
point because it was the lowest temperature he could record
with his device
