1. The problem is to convert a temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit. 2. The formula to convert Celsius ($C$) to Fahrenheit ($F$) is: $$F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32$$ 3. Substitute $C = -162$ into the formula: $$F = \frac{9}{5} \times (-162) + 32$$ 4. Calculate the multiplication: $$F = \frac{9}{5} \times (-162) + 32 = \frac{9 \times (-162)}{5} + 32 = \frac{-1458}{5} + 32$$ 5. Simplify the fraction: $$F = -291.6 + 32$$ 6. Add the numbers: $$F = -259.6$$ 7. Therefore, the temperature in Fahrenheit is $-259.6$ degrees.
