Temperature Conversion - Celsius to Fahrenheit
The metric system uses the Celsius scale to measure temperature. However, temperatures are still measured on the Fahrenheit scale in the U.S.
Water freezes at 0o Celsius and boils at 100o Celsius which is a difference of 100o. Water freezes at 32o Fahrenheit and boils at 212o Fahrenheit which is a difference of 180o. Therefore each degree on the Celsius scale is equal to 180/100 or 9/5 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.
How to convert Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit
Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5.
Add 32o to adjust for the offset in the Fahrenheit scale.
Example: convert 37o C to Fahrenheit.
37 * 9/5 = 333/5 = 66.6
66.6 + 32 = 98.6o F
There is a mental math method to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit. The ratio of 9/5 is equal to 1.8 and 1.8 is equivalent to 2 - 0.2
How to convert Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit with mental math.
Double the Celsius temperature (multiply by 2).
Take 1/10 of this number (2 * 1/10 = 0.2) and subtract it from the number above.
Add 32o to adjust for the offset in the Fahrenheit scale.
Example: convert 37o C to Fahrenheit.
37 * 2 = 74
74 * 1/10 = 7.4
74 - 7.4 = 66.6
66.6 + 32 = 98.6o F
Note: This lesson includes temperatures that use negative numbers. Negative numbers follow a pattern that is opposite of positive numbers. The number -20 is smaller than the number -10. Example of counting with negative and positive numbers: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Example of converting negative Celsius temperatures to Fahrenheit
Convert -15o C to Fahrenheit.
-15 * 9/5 = -135/5 = -27
-27 + 32 = 5o F
one more example
Celsius and centigrade both refer to the same temperature scale,
which is calibrated by setting the boiling point of water at 100
and the freezing point of water at 0. The general conversions
between Celsius and Fahrenheit are:
Tf = 9/5 * Tc + 32
Tc = (Tf - 32) * 5/9
where Tf and Tc are Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures,
respectively.
Applying these formulas to your questions, we have:
15,000,000 Celsius in Fahrenheit:
Tf = 9/5 * 15,000,000 + 32 = 27 million deg. F
-150 C in F:
Tf = 9/5 * -150 + 32 = -238 deg. F
500 C to F:
Tf = 9/5 * 500 + 32 = 932 deg. F
Good luck with the books!
the first link is REALLY REALLy easy to convert it does it for you

181.4 degree Farheinheit
Calculation:
C= Centigrade / Celcius
F = Farheinheit
Formula is: (C/5) = (F -32) / 9

Use a formula.............cant speed food u.
Look it up in a search engine, or buy a thermometer that has both centigrade and farenheit.
