How to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit - Example calculation

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit (from °C to °F) by utilizing the Celsius to Fahrenheit formula, multiply the temperature in degrees Celsius, Temperature(°C), by 9, divide the result by 5, and then add 32.

Let's suppose that you have a value of temperature of 160 degrees Celsius (°C) and want to express it in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). How do you convert 160 Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Temperature(°F) = 160 × 9/5 + 32 = 288 + 32 = 320

Temperature(°F) = 320 or

160 °C = 320 °F

160 degrees Celsius are equal to 320 degrees Fahrenheit.

Or, you can convert 160 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit (°C to °F) by using the alternative Celsius to Fahrenheit formula as follows:

Temperature(°F) = 160 × 1.8 + 32 = 288 + 32 = 320

So, 160 Celsius to Fahrenheit (C to F) is 320.
