For anyone who still needs this:

1. Multiply your Celsius measurement by 9/5 (or 1.8)

2. Add 32 to the result

Formula: F = (9/5)°C + 32

For this case we have that by definition, to move from Celsius to Fahrenheit we must apply the following formula:


F = \frac {9} {5} C + 32

Example, we want to convert 45 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit:


F = \frac {9} {5} (45) +32\\F = 9 * 9 + 32\\F = 81 + 32\\F = 113

Thus, 45 degrees Celsius equals 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

ANswer:
F = \frac {9} {5} C + 32
