Misspelling in the title.
Here's a quick in-head method of converting C to F:
C to F: Double C, subtract 10%, add 32.
Example: 28 is 28 x 2 (56). Subtract 6 (50). Add 32 (82).
They're also the same at -40.
They are the same only if you round off to the nearest degree.
28C = 82.4F
16C = 60.8F
Here's a helpful mnemonic for a range of temps in Celsius:
Thirty is hot
Twenty is nice
Ten is cool
Zero is ice
Of course, this doesn't cover really hot, like we've had here in Texas this summer (~110 F)!
Here's the conversion:
(Celsius <-> Fahrenheit)
0 <-> 32
10 <-> 50
20 <-> 68
30 <-> 86
40 <-> 104
