Question

suppose that a recipe calls for an oven temperature of 500 F convert this temperature to degrees celsius

Answer 1

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:

\[
C = \frac{(F - 32) \times 5}{9}
\]

Where \( C \) is the temperature in Celsius and \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.

In this case, if \( F = 500 \):

\[
C = \frac{(500 - 32) \times 5}{9}
\]
\[
C = \frac{468 \times 5}{9}
\]
\[
C = \frac{2340}{9}
\]
\[
C \approx 260
\]

So, 500 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 260 degrees Celsius.
