. 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.

1 answer

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.
