Default 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile time formula

How do you convert a time from 1/8 to a 1/4 mile time? i know there's a formula. i've heard different things though.

it seems to me that if you take your 1/8 time and multiply by 1.55 its really damn accurate!!

for some people it works, for others it doesnt. alot is dependant on the launch. for me 1.5 is right on the money cause i dont leave hard... 1.55will give a rough estimate though, and probably be more accurate to a <2.0 60' car

I like that multiplier better The 1.5835 puts me at a 15.9-16.1, the 1.5 puts me at a 15.45
