Question

The average surface temperature of mars is estimated to be -55°c . what is the temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?

Answer 1

F = (1.8 C) + 32

F = (-55 x 1.8) + 32

= (-99) + 32 = -67° F

Answer 2

Well there IS a 1.8 x ratio between Fahrenheit degrees and Celsius degrees, but the origin is at -40 degrees instead of at zero. So to answer your question, -55 degrees Celsius is about equal to -67 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hope this helps
