Step-by-Step Calculation
- Step 1: The first step is to take the Celsius number (18) and multiply it by 1.8.
Calculation: 18 × 1.8 = 32.4 - Step 2: Now, add 32 to 32.4 to adjust for the freezing point offset.
Calculation: 32.4 + 32 = 64.4 - Result: So, 18 degrees Celsius is equal to 64.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
