(2 × C) + 32
Double C and add 32 becomes less accurate as the temperatures rise. It is exactly right at 0 C, off by 8 at 40 C, and off by 20 at 100 C.
- The doubling is off by 10%. 2 is 10/5, but the correct formula is 9/5, so the right factor is nine/tenths below the fudge factor.
- Double C, subtract roughly 10% of that product from itself, then add 32 improves the result.
