Easy Celsius To Fahrenheit Trick
Here’s an easy Celsius to Fahrenheit trick: Double the Celsius degrees and then add 30 to get an approximate Fahrenheit temperature. For example, the formula to convert 12 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit would be (12*2) + 30 = 54. This trick works in reverse too. Just subtract 30 from the Fahrenheit and divide by 2. So to convert 80º F to Celsius, the formula would be (80-30) ÷ 2 = 25º C.
Go ahead and try it out. With a little practice, you’ll be able to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in your head.
