$-\ "63.58°F"$

Temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit are related as

$"C"/5 = "F – 32"/9$

On rearranging above equation

$"F" = "9C"/5 + 32$

$color(white)"F" = "9 × (–53.1)"/5 + 32$

$color(white)"F" = -63.58\ "degrees"$

The average temperature at the South Pole in September is -53.1^o C−53.1oC-53.1^o C. How would you convert this temperature to degrees Fahrenheit?
