Celcius.

0 degrees is what water freezes at.

100 degrees is what water boils at.

Makes SO much more sense and given the above, how can it not be easier?

 

Yes - I used both Centigrade and Celsius labels in my description above. (It is spelled with an "s", by the way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celsius )

I cannot substract and multiply. So I want metric system and Centigrades to be used.

You can't always get what you want.

OR

Multiply  c by 2, add 30 and subtract 1

So 16c x 2 = 32 + 30 - 1 = 61f

Yes, this is the quick cheat I use to bounce between the two as well - it's a decent approximation for temperatures that commonly occur (although as the temperature goes higher, it becomes more inaccurate).

Also, you do realize that multiplying by 2 and adding 29 would be a more concise version of your formula, don't you?

I’m sorry but I don’t understand centigrade and don’t care to understand it or the metric system or any other foreign system.

 

Degrees Fahrenheit to Degrees Centigrade/Celsius:  temperature Fahrenheit, subtract 32; take ensuing total and multiply it by 5/9

e.g., 212 F (boiling point for water) : 212 - 32 = 180; 180 * 5/9 = 100 Centigrade/Celsius

 

Degrees Centigrade/Celsius to Degrees Fahrenheit:  temperature Centigrade/Celsius, multiply by 9/5; take ensuing total and add 32

e.g., 100 C : 100 * 9/5 = 180; 180 + 32 = 212 Fahrenheit
