Question

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

(-30 x 9/5) + 32

_______ degrees Fahrenheit

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((-30 \times \frac{9}{5}) + 32\), follow these steps:

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

\[ -30 \times \frac{9}{5} = -\frac{270}{5} = -54 \]

2. Now add 32:

\[ -54 + 32 = -22 \]

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

\(-22\) degrees Fahrenheit.
