The equation for working out the temperature in fahrenheit from celsius is f = 9c/5 + 32

In other words, you multiply by slightly less than two, and then add more on. Therefore for many temperatures, just doubling would be a good approximation. Indeed, when the temperature is 160celsius, doubling would be correct.

What is the useful conversation rate of Fahrenheit to Celsius?

At very high temperatures (thousands or millions of degrees), Fahrenheit is Celsius times 1.8; Celsius is Fahrenheit divided by 1.8. This is actually an approximation, but that is usually good enough for most practical purposes. For example, if the temperature of the core of a star is specified as 14 million Celsius, that's an estimate in any case. For lower temperatures, you usually need to use the exact formula.
