Question

Simplify the expression to determine the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit that is equivalent to -30 degrees Celsius.

degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

To convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, we can use the formula:

\[ °F = (°C \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32 \]

In this case, we want to convert -30 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit.

1. Substitute -30 for °C in the formula:

\[ °F = (-30 \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32 \]

2. Calculate \(-30 \times \frac{9}{5}\):

\[ -30 \times \frac{9}{5} = -30 \times 1.8 = -54 \]

3. Add 32 to the result:

\[ °F = -54 + 32 = -22 \]

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit that is equivalent to -30 degrees Celsius is -22 degrees Fahrenheit.
