C° = (5/9)(F° - 32)
F° = (9/5)C° + 32

I myself prefer this alternative formula for converting Fahrenheit
measure to Centigrade measure.
C = (F + 40) * (5 /9) - 40
It's easier to remember because then I don't have to remember the different freezing points of the Fahrenheit and Centigrade scales.
To reverse it,
F = ( C + 40) * (9/5) - 40
To convert from one scale to the other,
add 40, multiple by either 5/9 or 9/5 according to which direction
you are going, then subtract 40.

Subtract 32 then divide by 2
So 80 F = 48= 24C Approx

If you want to do it in your head, I think this formula is easier than working with fractions:
F = (1.8 x C) + 32
