Convert the given Celsius temperature to its equivalent temperature on the Fahrenheit scale.

Use the formula: [tex]C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)[/tex] or [tex]F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32[/tex], where [tex]F[/tex] is the degrees in Fahrenheit and [tex]C[/tex] is the degrees in Celsius.

Given: -10 degrees Celsius

Calculate: -10 degrees Celsius equals ______. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Answer :

This calculation gives 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

Convert the given Celsius temperature to its equivalent temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. We use the formula F = 9/5 * C + 32. For -10 degrees Celsius:

Convert -10 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit using the formula:

F = (9/5) * (-10) + 32

F = (9/5) * (-10) + 32

F = -18 + 32

F = 14

Thus, -10 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

Note: The solution involves multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then adding 32 to get the equivalent Fahrenheit temperature.
