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**.
