Answer:

F = -22°F

Explanation:

Use the9 given equation to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.

F = 9/5 C + 32

They want to know what -30°C is in Fahrenheit.

Fill in -30 for C in the equation.

F = 9/5 (-30) + 32

Multiply first, before adding. In order to multiply the fraction × the -30, times

-30 ×9 and then divide by 5. (Or for easier mental math, times -30÷5 and then times that answer (-6) times 9.)

F = -54 + 32

F = -22

This means that -30°C is the same as -22°F.
