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.
