a degree C is 1.8 (9/5ths) degrees F. Freezing is 0 C and 32 F.
so to convert C to F:
multiply the C by 1.8 and add 32.
To convert F to C subtract 32 and then divide by 1.8
You can derive the above from first principles by noting that it's 100 C from freezing to boiling, and 180 F from freezing to boiling (212-32=180). Plus the fact that freezing is 32F.
