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
To convert Fahrenheit temperatures into Celsius:
Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit number.
Divide the answer by 9.
Then multiply that answer by 5.
Here's an example: Change 95 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius: 95 minus 32 is 63. Then, 63 divided by 9 is 7. Finally, 7 times 5 is 35 degrees Celsius. Time to go to the beach!

C= (F-32)*0.5555
Therefore C=(59-32)*0.555
Therefore C= 27*0.555
Therefor C= 14.985
If you learn the formulae the solution is easy!
