Question

. Suppose that a recipe calls for an oven temperature of 300 °F. Convert this temperature to degrees Celsius.
Express the temperature in Celsius as an integer.

Answer 1

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

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

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

In this case, \( F = 300 \):

\[
C = \frac{5}{9} \times (300 - 32)
\]
\[
C = \frac{5}{9} \times (268)
\]
\[
C = \frac{1340}{9}
\]
\[
C \approx 148.89
\]

As an integer, the temperature in Celsius is:

\[
C \approx 149
\]

Therefore, 300 °F is approximately 149 °C.
