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

degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

To convert -30 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula:

\[ \text{Fahrenheit} = \left(-30 \times \frac{9}{5}\right) + 32 \]

Let's first calculate \(-30 \times \frac{9}{5}\):

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

Now, we add 32 to -54:

\[ -54 + 32 = -22 \]

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

\[ \text{-22 degrees Fahrenheit} \]
