What is the conversion of -2 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit?

To convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, the formula used is:

[

F = \left( C \times \frac{9}{5} \right) + 32

]

For this specific conversion, we start with -2 degrees Celsius:

1. Multiply -2 by ( \frac{9}{5} ):

[

-2 \times \frac{9}{5} = -3.6

]

2. Then add 32 to that result:

[

-3.6 + 32 = 28.4

]

Thus, the calculated Fahrenheit equivalent of -2 degrees Celsius is 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the correct answer. This conversion process confirms that 28.4 is accurate, and aligns with standard temperature conversion practices that pharmacy technicians need to understand.
