A technician called our office the other day and asked this question...

Steve
How do I convert 250 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit?

My Response
This can be done using any calculator, the two basic equations are as follows:

(ºC x 1.8) + 32 = ºF

(ºF - 32) / (1.8) = ºC

Therefor:

(250ºC x 1.8) + 32 = 482ºF

Adversely:

(482ºF - 32) / 1.8 = 250

Additional Thoughts
One way to remember this relationship is 1 degree Celsius equals 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit plus 32 (since water freezes at 32ºF rather than 0ºC).
