Can anyone please tell me how to convert Centigrade into Farenhiet. I think i must have been daydreaming out the classroom window when we done that subject at school!!!! Many Thanks
P.S. I must have also been daydreaming when we were having a spelling test (see farenhiet)

Ok Loretta, here is a lesson in higher mathematics. :idea:

Fahrenheit = F
Celcius = C

Celcius° = 5/9 x (F° - 32°) [60°F: 5/9 x (60-32)= 15,555555 C°]

Fahrenheit° = 9/5 x C° + 32° [26°C: 9/5 x 26 + 32= 78,8 F°]



At the moment here it's 15.9 C° :?:

greetings,

quick easy way to get Farenheit....double the Centigrade temp & add 30

eg 20oC = 70oF
