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.
