Here are some different methods submitted by the community:

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, use this basic formula. C = 5/9 (F-32)

Temperature Celsius = 5/9 (Temperature Fahrenheit - 32)

The reverse formula is F = 9/5 C +32

Temperature Fahrenheit = (9/5 x Temperature Celsius) + 32

______

Use this equation to convert degrees Celsius/Centigrade (ºC) to degrees Fahrenheit (ºF): [°F] = [°C] × 1.8 + 32

________

F to C: Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9

C to F: Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32

________

Here's a simpler way that I've used for many, many years. Let's use an example of 16C. Double it to 32 and subtract the first digit (3), leaving 29. Now add the 29 to 32F (freezing point) and the answer in Fahrenheit is 61F.

Again, if the temperature is 24F - double to 48 - less the 4 = 44. Add that to 32. The result is 76F. This method works in negative values as well. -9C - double to 18, minus the 1=17. 32F minus 17 = 15F. Much simpler math than multiplying by 9 followed by division - and it's always spot on accurate.
