When I was learning, this helped me. You only have to remember five equations.

0c = 32f
10c=50f
20c=68f
30c=86f
5 degrees Celsius = 9 degrees Fahrenheit.

So you're listening to the radio and they say it's 15c. You know that 10c = 50f. Plus 9 for the other 5c equals 59f.

What’s a long ton?

A metric ton is 1000 kilos, 2200 lb . I think that's what long ton is.

A long ton is an English (imperial) measurement and is 2240 pounds. Equal to twenty long hundredweight, which is eight stone or 112 pounds. Much of the old Imperial system truly makes no sense at all! We had an English schoolteacher for third grade (in northern B.C.) who tried to teach us this stuff. In spite of our best efforts to slough it off, some of it stuck. The poor teacher had her work cut out for her when she tried to teach proper English to boys from Texas and Oklahoma, or even Idaho! GD
